Crocodile Tears Poem by Sheshu Babu

Somewhere lurking behind in the sea
Was a giant crocodile watching with glee
Its prey slowly enter shallow waters
Not knowing the impending dangers....

As soon as the prey came into contact
It pounced on them devoured them with tact
And shed its crocodile tears
Chewing its prey teeth looking like spears

Like the satiated crocodile
Modern rulers beguile
Their subjects from behind
Devour their bodies and souls and
Shed tears in sympathy
To show deluding empathy

This is the nature of present system
A showy democracy with undercurrents of totalitarianism
