SCAPE-GOATS

POEM

Scams and scandals,

corruption and bribery,

theft and heist,

terror and violence,

deaths of hundreds of thousands,

squeeze the nation,

like  a bunch of cane sticks are crushed

and take out juice.

Subsequently draining

the exchequer worth

several lakhs of crores of rupees

under the very noses of authorities

the so-called ones

with ‘unshakable’ principles

all tarnish the very image of the nation.

Be the rulers belong to

different parties

the story is the same.

Each day one after another

newer and newer  reports

invite our attention without full-stops

like the flowing down of water

down mountains.

Media – radio, TV,

internet (social networking sites)

but sad to say

the newer ones erase and the new ones

relegate the reports behind.

The newer ones follow

and the very painful thing is that

the culprits escape

unharmed  thru the

loopholes of legal network.

Remember, 

the courts examine

all the evidences where

truth is only a

scape-goat and justice and injustice matter

where eminent lawyers

hold the key to a favourable verdict 

to the defendent or respondent…

And we glance askance

at each other where

our anger and frustration reflect……
