A SCOUNDREL

He always yearned
to take a bath in the limelight.
What he badly missed was a platform
and a sea of audience to listen to his words in rapt attention.
He had a mountain of views
and ideas under the sun and occasionally beyond the sun
to ventilate his feelings at the top of his voice.
After weighing the pros and cons
he chose a political outfit albeit politics
though it is often said is the last resort of a scoundrel.
‘It is better to be a scoundrel’
rather than a non-entity in the society – he believes.
Politics, after all, is a lucrative profession

which needs no capital.
