Judgement

Rating: 5.0


This company is
Adulterating oil, dal, food, water
And medicine,
Digging and eating mines,
Has polluted the environment
By poisonous gas
Acid, smoke and ash.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This monk
Has encroached thousand acres
Of Govt. lands,
Declaring himself an incarnation
Of Lord Krishna
Has enjoyed
With unmarried girls,
Being Anthua Gopal
Has sucked the breasts
Of seven hundred young ladies.
Raped two hundred fiftysix,
And black markted the excise goods.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This doctor
Mixing water in saline
Exploiting ladies at the time of delivery.
Supplies bones and skins
Of unclaimed dead bodies
To foreign countries,
Extract the eyes
Cut the kidney and heart
Of the patients.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This officer
Taking bribe,
Tampering records,
On review it reports
A river as a newly dug canal.
There was no road,
He says
Cyclone has washed that!
He loots money
All the welfare funds,
Devasted jungles,
Gathered black money,
Denied Income tax,
Enjoying blue-nights
With Rambha Urvashi and Menaka
In Govt. bungalows.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This policeman
Training minor thief to be a dacoit,
Sharing stolen goods,
Helps criminals to abscond,
Drags honest people
Breaking the doors,
Has killed two men in jail
By beating in false cases,
Makes fake encounters.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This hooligan
Committing theft
Rape and snatching,
Loots banks,
Has run a black liquor factory,
Running sex racket
Using models and heroines,
Many secretaries of Govt.
Are his customers.
Has murdered nine men,
And taken advance
To kill more three.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This Maoist
Has blasted roads, bridges, towers
Police stations and train lines,
Killed two platoon police forces,
Beheaded a number of Adivasis,
Taking crores of rupees as tips
From the Govt. officials and contractors,
Cultivating ganja,
Has plotted conspiracy
To establish a new state
At the land surrounded by forests and hills.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This terrorist
Has drunken
Fake and polluted Quran,
Fired the train,
Bombarded on army camps,
Shooted
In schools, hotels, temples
Galleries and auditoriums,
Hijacked planes,
Committed massacre, mass rape
By the name of religion.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This business man
Adulterating cow-ghee with dalda,
Mustard oil with burnt lubricant,
Cumin-seeds with sand,
Harad-dal with Kandula,
Refreshing the dry vegetables
Applying chemicals
And selling afresh,
Cheese with paper-paste,
Adding air with petrol in vehicle tanks,
Selling vitamin tablets
Replacing
Cancer, T.B., paralysis tablets in packs,
Blocking the potatoes
Onions in the godowns
And creating scarcity in the market
Of food stops.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This priest
Behaves as if he has purchased the temple,
Takes away the money purse
Kicking devotees,
Insults lady visitors
By stripping their clothes,
Hits on the head.
Opening his garments before the Govt.
Showing his phallus,
Loots the hundi,
Makes the temple tradition rotten,
Threatens the Lord:
''Nonsense!
Has no legs or hands
Only for I you exist.
Brushing the teeth
Swallowing sixtypouties.
And think yourself as Prime Lord!
Minus us who will seek you?
The world runs for our dignity,
You do live,
Sun rises and sets,
If we desire
We can throw away your 'navi'
Into hell,
Cut your body and set fire in the oven."

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This teacher a pure voter of Govt.
A contract looter,
Selling away rice, dal, eggs of students.
Books, toys and science kits are not found,
New class rooms and urinals
Are not constructed,
Files ready with false vouchers.
Without teaching
Taking rural liquor and ganja,
Examines the sex of children,
Has made pregnant seven girl students.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This social worker
Opening the orphanage
Utilising the immatured girls
In prostitution,
In old-age home killing the old men and women
Applying the sleeping tablets
Without doctor's advice,
Selling wood logs in black
By the name of plantation,
Consuming foreign aids
Converting the poor from their own religion.
By the name of women's right
Colours the couple's small quarrels
Into serious and brutal oppressions,
Destroy their lives.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This political leader
Is root of all offences,
Opened a cheat fund and looted
Twenty lakh poor,
He cheated thousands of people
By illegal flat selling,
Deposited money in foreign banks,
Party collections go to his own account,
Created communal riots
Looted votes at the edge of bayonet,
Burnt houses,
Killing cattle
By opening slaughterhouse.
Selling national secrecy
To enemy countries,
Speaking against our country
With hands in hands
Of foreign enemies.
Looted national treasury,
Declared himself a great patriot.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This writer
Pulling the oil-crushers
Of heinous criminals and mafias,
Stole writings
Copied the scenes from cinemas,
Raped the language
Literature and culture,
Looted the honours and prizes,
Drinks honey of casting couch,
Spreads AIDs virus
From red-light areas
Throughout the capital
Without condom.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This media person
Has stamped at own buttock
The dignity of super chastity,
Crying days and nights
Projecting an ant as an elephant,
Mosquito as president,
This is the leader of all mafia leaders,
Conspiring all the while against the country.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

This judge
Big eater...,
Dead body, stool and urine...
Insufficient to this one.
All swallowed up,
Chewed the Law Code.

Order... order..., Hon'ble court is hearing!

Date after date... date after date...
Date... date... date...
Lotus moves and moves...

All are well saved,
Everyone at own place
And in one's own business!

We are crying
No tears in our eyes!
