Beedi-Rollers Poem by Indira Renganathan

Beedi-Rollers

Rating: 5.0


Fate of the trend
Fate of the society
Fall of the populace

Chaste their lives no more
For they are so much chaste
Stooping to their consorts'wish
Allowing concubines of carcinogens
Malevolent males long so much for

Innocent wives ignorant
Hands when shaken unaware..
Cunning deed of carcinogens
Jinxing their skin to breath-mute
Devils nicotine, cotinine blood-fed

They roll the beedis to strike
Off the rolls their lives
Back to sathi have they gone
But to gain some bucks
Will you please be back sir,
Mr.Rajaram Mohan Roy..
