Evil Eyes Poem by Rajendran Muthiah

oh, trace to the hide out of the evil eyes
and get them back on track to keep our flag flying
Give them free VISAS and seat them in the stadium
and so our bating maestros will hit tons of runs
and look at the sky to thank the Almighty
while the bowlers of the opposite teams
be scratching their heads for their sudden loose balls.

Please post these ominous eyes in the North East.
So the miltants will cross over to Burma
and the fearless rifles of Bangaladesh will be silent.
and our HIV eaten soldiers can nourish for a while.
Settle these danger signals along the Western border,
and the Abdali missiles and the American F16s
will be firing like bogus Sivakasi crackers.

Where are these hawk-eyed evil eyes
which once cursed those in neat clothes,
and cast an evil spell with their glances?
They should come and lay siege to those
who came to Madras once in loin clothes
by lying under the seats of unreserved bogies
but have now amassed wealth by evading tax.

“ Please stare at him for he is in a Government- job”,
I appealed to a once notorious wicked eye
who could exert a dreadful magic at first sight.
“ Oh, he is an M.Sc., B.Ed., earning just four thousand
when computer girls roam with cells and roll in drug-spells.
I don’t want to waste my heaven-given powers”,
he said in derision and sidled up.
