the mask is dead
buried underground
instead of Rs 50 pay Rs 450
it will come around
making profits
at the expense of humanity
its what its about
have money
have clout
law puts you in jail
money bails you out
but for the poor
it is hand to mouth
a mumbaikar
living in the north
or living in the south
a vibrant city
has lost its shout
silence
on the streets you scout
a swine flu
the missing snout
