"Demonetisation Saga", this thread
Let's see, where it has led
“Couldn’t
have done better”, they said
Yet in queues, people falling dead
“No pain, no gain”, they said
Ever smug, not a tear shed
“Minor inconvenience”, they said
Across
the country, havoc spread
“For
long-term good”, they said
What
good ,and when, left unsaid
“Think of soldiers at the border”, they said
Just another way, to mess with your head
“Kept it
top-secret”, they said
But clear signs some did know ahead
“The
corrupt are quaking”, they said
It’s the poor who’re breaking
instead
“Will eliminate black money”, they said
Looks like it’s turning white instead
“Just go
cashless”, they said
Nonchalant,
as cash-heavy India bled
“Give us
fifty days”, they said
Soon made it hundred-and-eighty instead
“Worked
on it for ten months”, they said
So it wasn't a "rush of blood" to head
While "success" stories to us are daily fed
All we
can do is keep banging our head

Liked it very much. after all it came here on the blog after a long gap , i think. Can't say right now, if it was a 'right' move or not, but I only wish that it should be beneficial for the country and the 'right' peoples who day in and day out sincerely wants this country to prosper irrespective of their political alignments.
Thanks, Avinashji. Yes, it's been ages since I've written anything on the blog. I had almost forgotten it existed. :-)
Wah wah! Very well said indeed. You have a wonderful way with words, Raja.
