SHAME, SHAME
Raunchy rapists, rancorous garroters,
gangsters, mobsters and white collar cheats
are all oh sure and secure in political shelters.
Bad cops are busy carting homes, dirty grafts
While good cops are kept to guard lords and blackguards!
As laws are interred deep under money vaults.
justice jerks and shirks to retch out of courts hearts!
Mistake not; rule of law hasn't come to a halt!
Look at those piled up cases, cunning touts
and remorseless lawyers ruling the roost;
and there behold...
those cracking lathis on the weak backs
of beggars, rikshapullers and street hawkers!
Scared commoners dare not even stare
at the reigning outrage, alas?
How can but an odd poet react;
but to catapult letter darts;
let someone read them or not!
Good reporting.But not a good poem. A good poem must appeal to your soul.
wowwwwwwwww! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! lovely darts u throw well they hit the bulls eye I hope honesty is you ---the lawyer in you says it (I hope its true---I dont believe this lawyer class they cheated me once---cannot forget it) -10 anjali
a poet with social committment n poetry thought provoking! !
A brilliant, big bellied rant against corruption in all its guises - from the gangsters who hide underground to those who sit in board rooms and government offices. Never fear that your voice will not make a difference. Your words of rage carry over the sea and open the ears of those, like me, who listen. Great poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
a true picture of the current situation-it is a shame, helplessness and everything well said- good write-10

I would like to translate this poem
anguish, angst, frustration- cry of a poet, hopeless, yet voices his despair through these poetic lines. is pen mightier than sword- we shall see. Sathya ji, very powerful write- criminals make hay, while the poor and the commoners dare not stare at reigning shame. we the people, need to unite and speak in one voice.10 Mamta
