A Rare Commodity Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan
A Rare Commodity
Have known its weightage
never knew it was weighed
This rare commodity
THE CURRENCY....
is being handled differently
by our politicians in this country
In the election scenario
when the currency along with candidate had to...
take a walk across to the other side
when the till then giver becomes the given
when each and every samanyan (ordinary man) is being bought over
in a country with too many samanyan's
the handling of this rare commodity....
THE CURRENCY...becomes a difficulty,
They say it would'nt be counted then
They say it would be sacked and weighed then
THIS RARE COMMODITY....THE CURRENCY
[it would be transported in secret trucks....i think
one or two of those could be stolen....i think and
that could'nt be complained to the cops....we know.. and is this..
HOW A NEW POLITICIAN IS BORN.....another poem should tell]
You have brought to fore your true concern which the other saamanyans also think and think but not able to come out openly. Well done.
politics and money are synonyms for never ending cycle of greed...well put this commodity is definitely rare for people like us but not for people who churn it out by creating chaos
you have written this well, Sam. And i am amazed of the sincerity you've conveyed. you wanted to meet with our mind, maybe half way, but nonetheless, it is the meeting of minds that understands what is happening..simply because of that simple and weighted thing and a rare commodity..the currency.. Well, this piece of yours is also a RARE COMMODITY..one of the best that i have read tonight.. Hugs, Meggie
dear friend what you weep about is our fate in the subcontinent.very sharp satire well written indeed.
Well said, well written only at the moment it seems the world's politicians have allowed the money to leave us all. Enjoyable but true write. Bob
Though currency is the most common commodity, this poem brings out its another dimension! Great write by a great poet! (not certainly by a samanian) ! ! !
