When probity speaks up.

Positions are true to perfect people, 

Whose minds are stuck to positions,

Rather than to the perks of positions. 

Values are mostly lost,not by positions,

But by people who undervalue them.

Impartiality is irksome to partial heads,

Who  go by head counts,shouting 'ayes'.

Past probity,is like a clear black&white film,

Seen through contemporary coloured lens,

It nudges a negative sense,and fudges failure.

Until the'I'sitting on one's head bids goodbye,

Positions of power will hold a patronising pie.

When probity truly speaks from its podium,

'The best of both worlds'befits as the bright idiom.

P.Chandrasekaran.

  1. The 'I' is the problem while in a position! It turns to '0' (zero) when divested of the position!
