G20 Poem by Ashish Dimri

G20

Rating: 4.5


G20 means
second to almighty
What a pity
heads'll discuss poverty!

But, their planes
are second to palaces
When poor
have no place!

They will join
some lavish dinner
while citizens
languish like sinners!

There is no food, shelter
and better clothing
Recession has given
them global mourning!

But, this score
needs more
in terms of discussion
when global mood is sour!

Poverty is still a curse of Modern World with all developments for who to enjoy; Nobody knows! G20 and G Many can do nothing!

I fully endorse your thoughts in this poem. The rich politicians will enjoy sumptuous dinner in palaces while the poor will continue to suffer poverty and distress.

A political satire relevant even today, after a decade and a half since it was published. Maybe more relevant today than then…
