386.Demonetisation

Where education has yet to reach and percolate
Where salary advance is  needed for some food on plate
Where people have no money for bank account
Where government's own corruption has no count
Where sky is the roof and hard ground is the bed
Where heat stroke and freezing cold leave people dead
Where network connectivity is a distant dream
Where women are raped as they struggle and scream
Where government talks of plastic card and money wallet
When people lack  even the basic amenity of a toilet.
Braving the chilling odds of demonetisation
Standing in unending serpentine queue united
Yes, Binita talks as a commoner of this  nation
With a childish belief we can root out the corrupted.
