Relationships Redefined

 

In Congress there's a new kinship equation,

For a mother-in-law is not a relation,

So logic dictates

That a wife's not a mate,

When Mammon* commands fervent adulation.

 *Riches; wealth; the god of riches

The Minor-League Courtiers

The Congress CMs were chosen to prostrate, 

Before the Monarch, The Almighty Potentate, 

Their minds Lilliputian, 

Appointed for diminution,

"They also serve who only stand and wait."

Inspired by  C.L. Manoj's column "Congress' Lilliputian satraps" in the Economic Times

The Medieval Maoist

A revolutionary on the make,
"Sickular" Roy has ideas to bake,
In a Maoist stew,
Stir a Taliban brew,
Is she dotty or a certified fruitcake?

Figures and The Figurehead

Food inflation's stubbornly high,

At sixteen percent figures don't lie,

The poor are dazed, 

The PM's unfazed, 

Because he's a figurehead, that's why.

Anarchy in the Assembly

 

The bribe was twenty five crores, 

To swim to the Congress' shore, 

So the MLAs* slugged, 

And behaved like thugs, 

In the Assembly, it was civil war.

*Members of the Legislative Assembly (Karnataka)

Terms of Endearment

If an Indian woman has you transfixed,
Don't kiss her say the Tourism hicks,
If you are really keen,
Find and kiss a beauty queen,
As for the rest, play safe, discuss politics!

Compliant Cringing Networks

Over Rahul, the media does drool,

Treating the public like twits and fools,

The sycophancy's crass,
On news channels en masse,

Perpetuating feudal rule.
