One To Be Rich! ! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

If businessmen amass so much wealth,
their products may not so much worth,
tallying the production cost and profit,
as the sky sucks the water from the earth,

when greed is nurtured with style and status,
all these women tighten themselves with body fit,
the fathers are on diet, squinting their eyes,
to check their seats and always on alert,

it is too strange, when the government does,
the businesses, the bureaucrats fail,
not mentioning their name with a secret pact,
money and resources of the public wasted,

The legal gambling tent with tied hearts,
sweet talk with the numbers to seduce,
every decade, there is a violent assault,
wealth is created through constant wipe out,

the desire of the needy is fueled with,
get rich quick schemes and frauds,
for one to win to be christened as the lucky,
millions have failed nursing their burned pockets,
