Lame Duck

A lame duck re-emerges 
from water of life, 
after paying for night of clouds.

The sex determines 
the economy of a nation and democracy
writes the future of a man.

Who was bankrupt 
in poor country of rich people ?  
You were the boss of a pavement.

The helplessness of a poetic justice 
was writ large on your face.
A dog was throwing the bone for the poor.

A fierce battle was raging
between the sun and the moon.
The stars have eloped with the winds.
