The biker is worried but sure
with money he can easily lure
as the lady from the slum is screaming and crying
'Oh my kid my kid, God saved you from dying!'
and hugging the kid and kissing him more,
the one whose birth she curses in furore.

the activist is teaching his kid a,b,c
the TV is playing a movie on english Zee
in his mind he is happily planning
the mob is just in the mood for fanning
and luckily that day he came upon a school with an english name
which he and his gang would with charcoal that nite defame

the minister is all charged up and screaming
its the brain drain he is demeaning
calling them cheaters to escape to foreign lands
the next day the same minister is pushing a bill
to increase reservations for the minority wheel
which in effect would surely his votebank fill

the beggar is sad as he looks at the empty bowl
today again his kids will with hunger howl
he has begged and wept at people all day
and his respect and shame at their feet lay
so that he doesnt have to hear his family whining
he looks up and sees a poster saying 'INDIA SHINING'

the common man is also a part of this game
what does he do other than the government blame
when it comes to taxes he acts so lame
and then on news about inflation and growing prices
he curses the system and vows to fight
but a poem is all he is able to write.
