Cricket and the Prime Minister - A Poem

Reflections on the elections in India

Dear India

I never thought
I would see the day
When an Indian prime minister
Would speak such rubbish
And not be laughed out of the room

I never thought
I would see the day
When an Indian prime minister
Would speak in such a ridiculous way
And be taken seriously by so many

I wonder
Who is out of joint
The prime minister
Those who are silent
Or those who find this odd today
