For
long in many societies this three letter word s** was considered dirty, filthy not to
be discussed in open. It was and still considered a taboo in many regions,
countries. In India, the land of Kama sutra the word s** is still spoken
in hush hush voices and most people simply freeze on encountering this very
controversial (??) word. Many Prudes still consider it as blasphemous to
discuss or talk about it. But that’s history now, I suppose. There is a new word,
I think, which has been lurking on the fringes for long, which can qualify as
the most dirty, controversial word in today’s world. Any guesses folks? It should
not be a problem for world citizens to zero down on this new age filthy word?
Let me give you some hints, we all frown upon the very
mention of this word, we wear a helpless despondent look on hearing it. We
simply resign to our fate when it is uttered or discussed. Cynicism takes control
and a dreaded feeling creeps into our being. Is this not enough for it to
qualify as the most dirty, filthy word which destroys once wellbeing? I think,
yes it is, and the word is known worldwide as "Politicians" an offshoot of another dreaded word called “Politics”. In fact it is popularly said;
"Politics is the last resort for scoundrels", and indeed the politicians are
living up-to the name unabashed.
Conventionally
speaking “Politician” is not a dirty word, or there is nothing dreaded about
it. Their actions, motives are something which make them filthy, which
evokes hatred, disdain amongst the fellow human beings. Politicians are
synonymous with a Chameleon, you know why. They can easily qualify as top bluff
masters, liars. To play with words and with people’s lives is something they
are champion at. Now this entire politician bashing gives an impression of they
being an evil monster that is baying for human blood, but this definition does
not apply to one and all, rather it applies to some of them who can be referred
as rotten eggs / apples in a basket. These very hardnosed species are also
capable of turning into pachyderms, paying no or very little heed to human
cries and angst. What they are busy with is, filling in their coffers and being
ensconced in their chair, for which they can go to any extent.

Worldwide
citizens are being tormented by this species named as Politicians, Inciting
people in the name of religion, caste, race; region is something which they
love to do at any given time. For them human emotions are only to be capitalized
for their own benefit. Callousness, corruption, bigotry, greed is so deep rooted
in them, that, even the almighty can hardly do anything. People are butchered massacred
at the behest of the criminal minds of the politicians. Women are assaulted;
deprived of basic needs like education, right to vote etc. in the name of
religion, sect by these so called politicians who they claim are the savior and
guardian of their religion. There have been umpteen instances where the
politicians have looted their countries and fled like a captain abandoning a sinking
ship. They are supposed to be the savior, guardian of its citizens who have
reposed faith in them, but the chameleons, true to their nature, show their true
colors and betray the people. While they revel in their mansions, wear designer
clothes, travel like a king, the poor citizens are fighting for their very
existence, but who cares.

Oratory and rhetoric are common traits of these politicians
who indulge in shallow, hollow promises which never see the light of the day.
To win votes they go to lengths and even distribute money, food, but when in
power they loot as well, such is their character. I wonder if their lust, greed
has any limit. They think it’s their birth right to exploit, loot. Their moto
is self-help and then if they have time help others. In every part of the world,
the citizens echo the same sentiments of hatred, angst for these insatiable
beasts named politicians. They are cynical about their leaders, have lost all
hope of good governance and good life. They look down upon these good for
nothing politicians who have made life wretched for them. Deep down in their
heart they want to see their backs to the wall begging for their mercy, a case
of tables turned. If that happens ever, it would be the most eventful day in
the life of the citizens of this world who had enough of these despots.
History, time and again has proved, a politician can define, decide the fate of one’s country, kingdom. Unfortunately in today’s world the politician class is more interested and engrossed in destroying the very fabric of human life, though there are a handful of exceptions, but this percentage is so miniscule for gloom and misery to prevail. After knowing all the characteristics and nature, don’t you think the name "Politician" is the filthiest word in today’s world?
