CAPITAL TALK — Badri Raina

Date:

BADRI RAINA | Caravan Daily

 

Now   that  the long-awaited deed

Is done, and GST  has won,

Time to let you into my secret.

 

You have often wondered

How and  why I survive given

That I cause  so much suffering

Among people who produce me,

And whom I exploit to the tee.

 

Since my conception, my

Guiding  catechism  has been

Simple:  namely, unite

The market and divide the people.

 

Thereupon, I give grants to

Enroll scholars in Think-Tanks

To teach you how the Market

Is an autonomous god over

Whom nobody has control.

Thus it is I appropriate your

Soul  and suck up your brain,

So that the only pain you feel

Is  not having the latest Whatapp.

 

The best part of my progress

Is that you have found no answer

 To my  glittering  wickedness.
