The Common Man

I wake up one morning to see changes in the trend,
I wonder, how much can one pretend?
Taxes to pay, no money to spend…
When will all this stupidity end?

I gamble, I fall - my hands I burn,
I think, I try - to raise my earn!
I jump, I switch – my position to turn,
I grow, I age – when will I learn?

The salary that comes with a T-D-S…
With this tax, did the country progress?
Money with the b-crats who bribe the press…
News flashes to have the common man digress!!

To be a b-crat I need to go to jail…
I’ll commit a crime and get out on bail!
I cannot be educated – I have to fail…
Do a fodder scam – be in-charge of the rail!

Stats show there is so much of black money,
wonder where they counted that without accountability?
I work for the govt – I hardly earn anything miss!!
But I own bunglows, cars to name a few, the rest lies in swiss!

Why should we bribe for our own right?
Scams exposed but no justice in sight!
Is this what we get – to be “human”?
wake up ‘o’ wake up – “The Common Man”!!!
