Murkhamantri Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Murkhamantri as a representative of the Indian fools
Living in villages and towns,
Uncultured and illiterate, clumsy and blunt,
Sending him to assembly
To be not as first-time legislator,
But the chief minister.

Now say you, one does not know how to talk, how to behave,
What will do sitting on chair,
The word Murkhamantri, murkha-fool and mantri-minister
Itself speaks of,
What sort of minister will he be if comes into power,
Will thrash the thick stick on your head
And you will do without caring for right and wrong
Just at taking the name of your father,
It is said even a ghost fears it the lathi,
The thick Indian stick of the dullard and blockhead fool.
