‘our Case’ Poem by Udaya Pant

‘Our Case’


On the desks of government
Heaps of papers are piling
Unaware how to deal with
Everyone busy and just filing

Busy pretends everyone
Easy here takes it everyone
Things take their own course
‘Procedures’ for common man

We all have to take this course
We do get the own fate
We all realise when we face
By then it is rather late

Why do we lose face?
‘Cause we take it as others’ case
We would have delivered it
If we considered it our own case
