A RITUAL

The annual ritual of
cake-sharing came.
A white, bespectacled
gentleman in black-suit
cut the cake
on behalf of a
dignified community
equally respected men
and women.
Gave away the large
chunk of
cake
to society’s very tall and
elite ones pieces left behind
distributed, to be more apt
being thrown away
to the short men
and women.
The tall men are being
are being charged small rates
even exempt them from
everything
the short ones on
the other hand are
being ruthlessly squeezed.
The annual
ritual of presenting
budget in Parliament
thus ends on a happy
note
often ending with a
couplet…..
