Off-Party Campaign

In context of political change in the Thunder Dragon Kingdom

Many wake up from their deep but eternal slumber

While some on the pretext of 'responding to nation’s call'

Others calling it their sacred duty

Many for financial freedom

Few for social fame

Like many elsewhere

Some vowed for employment

Others guaranteed national security 

Many promised  better economic prosperity
Few even pledged to protect our pristine environment
A million dollar questions, however is- Is Bhutan changing for better?

Amidst these aspiring politicians
How many are genuine?

How many can deliver?
And yet-how many are crooks? Only a time can reveal and until such time

Lets think of those who thought of what one can do to one’s country and not otherwise.
