Collector



Collector is here
But see the wonder
He has nothing
To collect.

Who is he?
Just a head servant
Of the people
And he takes money
As salary from
Tax-payers.

He is to work
Day and night for
The development of
The people for larger interest.

India has still this post? Indeed time to change this terminology, so obsolete. Or is the present Gov. too lazy to change that, since this post still brings profits? In Indonesia, there is none terminology of the Dutch Colonial Government anymore. Impressive poem, excellently worded. Thanks for sharing.10

I THINK, I know this personage. A well composed poem, and is a hilarious poem. I know these facts too well in the period before the reign of President Ir. Joko Widodo, shortened as JOKOWI. He is the first president not to be corrupt, but before him are all corrupt through and through, the most corrupted president was Soeharto and his family in 1997 during his dictatorship. This fam owns the State's money income. m glad am in NL long time.

Collector is a post created by the British Government in India to collect land revenue in 18th century. It is time to change this designation and use another terminology taking interest of the people.
