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
