Middle Class Demonetization Blues
We are willing to pay a high price
for a cause patriotic and good:
vegetables rot in the markets;
we’ve no cash for buying or selling.
For a cause patriotic and good,
we’ll happily stand in long queues;
we’ve no cash for buying and selling—
thank God for e-currency.
We’ll happily stand in long queues,
to fight corruption and greed—
thank God for e-currency;
our children will eat well tonight.
To fight corruption and greed,
we’ll entrust the banks with our wealth;
our children will eat well tonight,
though the hunger around us is growing.
We’ll entrust the banks with our wealth:
we are willing to pay a high price;
though the hunger around us is growing,
vegetables rot in the markets.
while reading it I was searching whether the poet will criticise demonatization or appreciate it. But at the end i found that all you did is just draw the real picture of the demonatization effect on the normal people. And that is what i like most in this poem.
