A Rare Commodity Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

A Rare Commodity

Rating: 5.0


Have known its weightage
never knew it was weighed
This rare commodity
THE CURRENCY....
is being handled differently
by our politicians in this country

In the election scenario
when the currency along with candidate had to...
take a walk across to the other side
when the till then giver becomes the given
when each and every samanyan (ordinary man) is being bought over
in a country with too many samanyan's
the handling of this rare commodity....
THE CURRENCY...becomes a difficulty,

They say it would'nt be counted then
They say it would be sacked and weighed then
THIS RARE COMMODITY....THE CURRENCY

[it would be transported in secret trucks....i think
one or two of those could be stolen....i think and
that could'nt be complained to the cops....we know.. and is this..
HOW A NEW POLITICIAN IS BORN.....another poem should tell]

A nice theme. Currency can buy all badness in this world. Power is money and money is power. This is the situation.

The politics in any part of the world is born out of money power and muscle power.

Well said, well written only at the moment it seems the world's politicians have allowed the money to leave us all. Enjoyable but true write. Bob

Though currency is the most common commodity, this poem brings out its another dimension! Great write by a great poet! (not certainly by a samanian) ! ! !
