Our corruption may be both more Brazen and bigger than yours,
But the big barons understand We are not throwing money
Just on people but going for Something great and grand;
PROF BADRI RAINA
Do not disrupt Parliament;
It is not good; in your time,
Corruption was an issue because
You were doling “populisms”
Left , right, and center—so
“Disrupt Parliament” ordered
Then our Corporate mentor.
Disrupting Parliament, our l eader
Taught, is Parliamentary practice too;
So, full throttle, party men,
Into the Well you go.
Our corruption may be both more
Brazen and bigger than yours,
But the big barons understand
We are not throwing money
Just on people but going for
Something great and grand;
Having cut spending on useless
Things like Agriculture, Health,
Education, our corruption is
Entirely in the interests of the nation.
Sadly, you demand that of us
Which we had of you, putting thus
Our smart city and bullet train
Into an anti-national stew.
This is not good, we repeat; let our
Corruption take a back seat.
You were foolish and gave us
With ease those ministerial scalps;
Thicker, ha ha, is the hide our
Good governance wraps—
Reason why the very channels
That then bayed for your head
Cannily know in our day
Which side is better fed.
As to the moral middle class—
What god is worth his salt
That cannot bring in the moolah,
And put the destitute at fault.
Fifa never had a football that
could be kicked as freely around
As morality is in Bharat
If your cash be underground..
Those that practice pelf and prayer
Under “patriotic” name
May or may not have their meal,
But they sure eat their shame.
