Only their voices are heard
Business man, business woman, sympathisers
are coming to the defence of defaulting tycoon
"Give him a chance" they plead
"Avoid media trials
due processes need to be followed
and this takes time..."
None came to the defence of the farmer
who joined his maker, driven by
desperation and humiliation
after his tractor, the very source of livelihood
was confiscated by bank authorities..
He had repaid only 5 lakhs
of the 7 lakh loan taken
Voices of the marginalised
are in theory to be heard
through the MPs and MLAs,they elected
sadly, the reps have no time
they are too busy pandering
to the needs of those
whose voices alone are heard...

ReplyDeleteThe world has always favoured the rich and the powerful and these people think that the poor exist just for enhancing their wealth and power. Nice poem. Powerful.
