Sweet Smell Of A Kill Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Sweet Smell Of A Kill



Assets under high stress,
And bad debts in excess—
To banks an awfully bad odour,
A good kill to sharks, to banks grapes sour,
To Chris Flowers, sweet smell of success!
And those that caused this smell,
Big cats, who'd tie a bell?
May God's grace our good governance bless. ________________________________________________
The stinking foul smell of non-performing assets of banks is in air. Today, world seems fond of euphemisms, but it means bad loans and bad dreams for the banks. Yet, a good opportunity is it for the vultures of Wall Street who like its stinking odour. What for the banks is bad-debt, is for these sharks a lip-smacking bet. J Christopher Flowers is one such man. _____________________________________________________

Yes, satire used on euphemisms used on serious issues on governance. Thank you Kumarmani Mahakul.
