Quota Faqir



Tallest of all the Babas,
Baba Ambedkar,
created and nourished like an amoeba;
a new-fangled ‘varna'; ‘Quota Fakir'.

Can be seen crying for quotas, all over the country.
Mushrooming in the weak democracies,
election season is most fertile, particularly,
 to sow, to sprout and to grow quota berries.

Born in powerful clans, but grab and snatch freebies,
for the downtrodden and poor, meant.  
Possessive and powerful with a plethora of prosperities,
and surplus to partying, consume and eat.

Hurrying the luxuries under their feet,
attired in branded clothes, but always cry fake exploitation.
Settled, blissfully with fortune; without any toil, work and merit;
in happy solitude and opulent elation. 

Given the pain and sleepless nights by laws rotten,
all move away from their eyes and ears due to fear;
holds firmly the reins of the system,
The mass swags underneath their tied-over shackle.

High time, stop this loot greedy,
This neo-rich have their own atrocious class,
Must act to banish the woes of needy,
We don't forget the cries and writhes of mass.
