Kejriwal vs Ashoka Hall ------------------------------------ Don’t grant him bail, he won’t furnish a bond To his loyal followers, he is a political James Bond Kejri the Hero, of the law-abiding classes Outrage is his gun to woo middle class masses What’s a poor man to do, he’s just a leader trainee When he’s not alleging scandals, he’s a humble detainee He’s doing what the great Gandhi did to the Brits –laughing at the law, and all those clean chits Yonder in the capital, they’re cleaning the Ashoka Hall To swear in the Saffron King, a winner who stands tall The contrast is striking as our little man goes to jail One a grand success, the other like he has failed He staged a dharna, talked of bijli and paani He rambled against Ambani, showed audacity on Adani Said no to a one-legged CM’s chair, took to the streets Of such dubious virtues are his political feats But you can’t blame the man, he’s a toddler in politics Still discovering what’s it that makes a neta tick David against Goliaths, in the maze of the republic He hopes for things that would make an underdog click. Elections are a game of snakes and ladders, you know The episodes keep changing in the Great Indian Show The Lotus bloomed only two in the year Eighty Four Now it’s seeing its glory as its popularity soars Indira was humbled in Seventy Seven, bounced back in Eighty Naidu was wilting in the wilderness but now emerges mighty Power is just a House of Cards, and polling a roll of the dice If you read between the roaring lions, you might just see some mice! --N.Madhavan, 2014 blogs.hindustantimes/madversity
