Grand old Adam
From heaven
Of free enterprise
Wonders, watching
The acrobatics
Of the finance expert
How he manages
Indian rope trick
Of the annual national budget
In between the holes
In the sky, by
Terrorists’ acts
And Bofor’s kickbacks
So also, securities’ scams
Until bomb-blasts sneaks
And Mother Earth shudders,
All of which rise on and on, along
The progress chart of GNP
Successively year after year.

In the arena of circus
The first rows
And the second rows
Are entertained with
Intellectual kicks,
While the acrobat makes
Those in the stands
Forget their woes
Back at home, awhile.

The Chanakya, the Marx, the Thou roe
The Gandhi and Leo
Watch with thumb in mouth
While grand old Adam
From heaven
Of free enterprise
Relishes.
