A CASE OF RAJA & RANI




All pervading gloom I daily see
The snail’s pace of Democracy
At last the King is in custody
After hue and cry      
With years of coffer-looting spree
And he wasn’t shy.



The Rani later followed suit
With an MP’s tag to boot,
Ill gotten money, black as soot
She obtained,
From companies that vendored fruit,
Which, she never ate.    



After the cry for justice surged
One ninety days in jail she served
But Delhi’s strings are attached
Deep in south,
No commoner to her stature matched
So she walked out.
