LIKE A GORDIAN KNOT


POEM

Like an elephant
trampling a person to death
some developing nations reeling
under the onslaught of debt crisis
they desperately trying
to escape from the
clutches of being paupers
seize the stick of austerity measures
reluctantly and with heart-ache
bowing to the demands of
international shylocks and big sharks
like IMF, World Bank
and developed nations
and borrow huge amounts  to tide over
the crisis keeping in
their minds future bleak scenario
staring at them like wild animals.
Nowadays each ordinary
family slap austerity measures to pull on
tightening belts by the family members….
Debt-trap is like a
gordian knot which
we ordinary human beings
desperately try to unknot……

without scenting victory at all…….
