The Great Indian Kit Trick Poem by Dann Thomas

This kit, that contains grains, oil, soap etc. being distributed by political parties and individuals, does certainly provide some relief to many families. But is that sufficient? Can families survive for months on this kit? With each drought, flood, or pandemic, the government announces a host of new schemes. But will these one-time handouts, however, be enough to sustain families who have lost their family members, livelihoods and homes? Does it actually reach those who need it the most? Is there a secure delivery mechanism to the one in need, not the politicians' ample pocket? Or is all this just another photo opportunity? Governments should look into providing sustainable incomes and pensions for all. Not just a political handout. Not just a quick fix kit trick.
