COMMON MAN’S WOES

City life is
often an elongated
procession snaking
along the road shouting slogans
at the top of one’s
voice, holding flags, throwing the fists
in the air.
Traffic is help up
crowds of pedestrians
stand rooted on the
pavements unable to
move to the left
right, front or back. 
Shops and commercial 
establishments though
kept  open are practically
empty with the owners and employees only present.
Same is the case
when VVIPs land
from capital city
pay visits to the State
amid heavy police bandobust
and traffic control
force life difficult for the common man.
A VVIP’s life is invaluable
while that of the common man
is a big zero.
