The Madman of Byculla

The Madman of Byculla, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

talking to the
white elephant
of the BSP party
on a mumbai wall
says the madman
of byculla ..why
did you not build
hope hospitals
orphanages
old peoples home
instead of stupid
parks you got
kicked out after all
the bhaiyyas
of mumbai
no jobs at all
pushing hand
carts doing
odd jobs all
in all,,,had
you thought
of public good
you would have
been recalled
but decimated
at the hustings
you fate scrawled
madame's
self conceited
megalomanic
statue
when the next
floods come
will soon fall
wishful
thinking
it wont
be shifted
to the
parliament
hall..among
the stalwarts
there it is still
too small
