POEM
A civil servant is
always at the mercy
of his political masters.
Remaining subservient
to your political masters is equivalent to
'succumb' to their decision
to chain you
until he is at
the top of you and
order you to do this or that.
Merit is not at all a
criteria in the world of bureaucracy
and politics.
If and when a
civil servant shows
signs of revolt
be prepared for
a transfer to a faraway
place which is most
inconvenient to you
or suspension or dismissal as to the situation warrants.
The only consolation
being even if one is a political heavy weight
goes out into political oblivion
after he attains superannuation
and a civil-servant
is free to heave a sigh of relief.
But, in the place of
the one who went to the wilderness
another one is enthroned
to chain a civil servant
until he reaches the retirement age.
