Feed eating officials

 

We do feed dogs whatever We can spare for them

Officials feeding the poor used to wait for the poor

To throw some bones to them in return for feeding

Not to feed but keep the wellfed officials chewing

Least any official may start biting the poor people!

 

Those were the days of the past and gone are they!

Once upon a time these used to happen not today

Officials eat the food meant for the poor and weak

Cattle and dogs even before they feed any of them!

They are like proverbial Prodigal Son come home!

 

                                                         an arrogant Dalit
