Empty Rhetoric Poem by Sheshu Babu

Empty Rhetoric



What does ' development ' mean
When 99% of people without clean
Water, food and clothing
And medication are dying....?

What does ' growth ' mean
When the rich are keen
On accumulating wealth
While poor live in filth...?

All the talk of progress is gimmick
To deceive people and hoodwink...

It' s empty rhetoric!
