Requiem for the EVM

What is the position
of the opposition?
"It seems we have lost
But must at any cost
Find some justification

But what could it be
That would with authority
Scrub out our losses
yet please our bosses
And run off with impunity?"

#LokSabhaElections2019

Eureka one said
As he sprang out of bed
This idea's a gem
let's trash the EVM
And cast doubt on the EC instead

So off the cabal went
to make in democracy a dent
They drove in their fancy cars
But emerged in crushed kurtas
To make a straight tale bent

#LokSabhaElections2019

And of course the pliable
And the old reliable
Took their clarion call
From studio to town hall
To prove the EVMs were fallible

And here on twitter
The usual folk were aflutter
"Institutions compromised!"
"Idea of India revised!"
Dragging their souls through the gutter

#EVMs

But unlike back in the day
They no longer held sway
A million voices rang loud
And shut this nonsense crowd
So now all they can do is bray

They tried for a spat
On the VVPAT
But the EC was wise
To their sly device
And that was simply that

#ExitPolls #LokSabhaElections2019

The votes are safe in the EVM
Our destiny locked in them
The counting is soon
We hope it will be a boon
All we can do is wait the interim

But whatever may come to be
India will always be a democracy
Of that we are proud
And will sing out loud
that all going well, #AayegaToModiHi
