THE SHAMELESS GOVERNING GAME!

THE SHAMELESS GOVERNING GAME!

 

From that monstrous centre:

The decentred gets frustration alone,

The then and the now are the same,

They give words but shamelessly take deeds,

Intoxicated with power and stay unheard!

 

Fashion the unfashionable always:

In food, culture and language,

In attire, worship and college,

They propose what they like and damage,

The custom and the ritual infused regional knowledge!

 

Speak in a calculated tongue:

As it is the voice of those religious kings,

The rhythm in which they collectively sing,

Are nothing but the tainted saints wink,

This must make all alert and think!

 

From everybody’s laboured income:

They allow the rich to swim,

And achieve the states capturing dream,

In a raided money they buy power without shame,

Out of this disgusted game only that he became fame!

 

Shower the ill-gotten money:

To defeat and destroy any.

Or be corrupted and speak with poisoned honey,

To head wash and hush-up many,

If not this then which is tyranny!

 

Get adequate courtiers:

Devoid of sympathy, humility, curtesy and fears,

To push the entire destitutes into tears,

From there you please stand up and verbally fire,

With all might to replenish the power!

 

Invest capital and disinvest people:

With the lives of the marginal and the poor they gamble,

Have a happy ride on those who are humble,

They make the honesty, truth and loyalty fumble,

They always divert the attention by excruciating the feeble!

 

The press has been compressed:

After subjugating everything they feel impressed,

A single sneezing enough to leave them distressed,

To put that off they touch the sensitive sacred,

Oh! collect and be together to get someone instead!
