they look down from the billboard,
shining metro in tow,
promising a better future,
asking us to sacrifice,
our already pothole ridden present.

some years back,
the same beaming faces with pride,
assured a smoother ride,

the ink on our fingers,
washed away and forgotten,
our hopes dashed,
now in sweet surrender,
our votes lie submerged,
in the crater at Milind Nagar.
