Poem Title:
Poem
Begin Thus spoke the Premier in a solemn voice Announced the implementation of a new plan There are too many scams, I had no choice It is to benefit the common man At the stroke of midnight when the corrupt sleep Their misdeeds in the past sixty-year span Will be exposed when the new changes creep It is to benefit the common man The new fiscal policies come into force Old high denomination notes, under a ban Must be deposited in a bank, explaining their source It is to benefit the common man Only limited withdrawals from banks allowed New notes, small currencies to be supplied in a van In front of banks panic stricken citizens crowd It is to benefit the common man Small vendors, daily wage earners badly hit Blamed the faulty implementation of the plan With no resources to survive they admit It is NOT to benefit the common man The opposition parties were on their feet To scourge the government on the plan They used the situation to generate heat It is NOT to benefit the common man Fifty-five people died standing in the queue Claimed the opposition, it was an empty van Government bigwigs unaffected as they knew It is NOT to benefit the common man Nonsense! Said government sources The process of cleansing just began Soon there will exist no evil forces It is to benefit the common man Fifty-five million patiently stood in the queue Waiting to withdraw as fast as they can Their complaints are baseless and nothing new It is to benefit the common man The common man is helpless, unable to think What will be the end of the process that began Short of cash, in misery he’s on the brink What else can he do, he’s born a common man! End
