Who Am I?

I am a .......   character
Wickedness is my .....   hobby
Specially to ....   lobby
Influence......    legislators
The puzzled
The baffled
I am also......   bruised
When events unfold
Detached from reality
With past mentality
Though facade to know all
Not to heed to the call
And pose a democrat
Act like a diplomat
Concerned about the nation
For peoples’ emancipation!
For a bill to pass
To suffocate to harass
Burned mid night oil
To find a solution?
Or cultural pollution?
I am here! I am here!
Can’t you notice me?
Am I invisible??
Am I too loud to be heard?
Or to be seen very blurred?
Do you know who I am?
The generation's sham?
You have guessed it right !
You’ve not missed a slight
