Bread And Butter Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

Eradication of poverty is possible
if production rate of poor is reduced
but red, green, saffron... any political party
never goes to the poor and convinces them.
they all work for their own interests and goals
their policy is... cut the roots of the plant
and sprinkle water on top
no one wants to eradicate poverty
poor is the source of their bread and butter
poverty is the source of their existence
if the growth of the poor stops or reduce
who will hold the party-flag,
march on the street?
how cut-money will come in their pocket,
if no welfare scheme for poor?
