Mann Ka Satire

ATM

This poem is written by Akshay Nandakumar (BBA.LL.B. Class of 2020)

 

The following poem is my interpretation of how demonetization has affected our lives and our nation and how I perceive this catch 22 situation.

 

To all of you who got Mitrooed like myself.

 

I used to ask my dad for a 500 rupee note he would happily give me one or two

Now when I ask him, he starts looking for his shoe

When the question raises

Of whether or not you approve this move

With the nation confused

Half of them saying I don’t and the other half saying I do

Forecasting the future some are painting the town red

Yet disdainfully according to others “In the future we are all dead”

Frankly speaking I don’t really have any clue

There is really nothing much we can all do

Save to adjust ourselves to this untitled Waterloo

Until then sadly some might have to stand in queue

Waiting for a miracle that would put the entire nation in the right groove…
