A Satire on Lawmaking:
                                              The Destiny of Governing Law in Limbo
When no need scrutiny is done,
Surely no majority always won,
Whereas input remains uncontested,
Output with intention is relegated,
When intake seems unobjectionable,
And Guru’s jurisdiction sounds idle,
When everyone uncompromising to agree,
It shall be faded into oblivion by degree,
When a law enacted with impulsive generation,
Many an undue influence exerted in legislation,
When caught on the horns of a dilemma,
Being a dissident imports as a stigma,
When illiteracy and abeyance must avoid,

Then the governing law deems null, dooms void.
