387. Closest Stab Easy

Closest stab easy
With dagger sharp words
Wounding the soul
Ripping it apart.

Guiltless they move on
Insidiously finding faults
Ready for fisticuffs
Reasons stand otiose .

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.

385.Khushwant ( limerick)

A Limerick for the daring man.

Khushwant painted the town red
Scandalizing all with variety in bed
Caring a DAMN for notes
He penned down quotes
To be one of the eminent gadfly head.

384. Look (Limerick)

Bini the meek,rounded a nook
To find herself surrounded by a crook.
Quick she ran with a shriek
Ouch! To fall in a murky creek
Lol!How scary was her sloppy look.

383. Walked (Limerick)

Bini walked in her sleep one night
Striking all that was in sight
Smiling as a lord
She used her sword
HI! HO! To find Scare-crow dead in the light.

382.My Country (Ghazal 4)

At thirsty bar is My Country
At risky war is My Country.

A little stuck up in money
Yet nouveau czar is My country.

The Plastic card is our booty
 At kiosk car is My Country.

The veggies go stale in market
From hunger far is My Country.

Dear Bini, smile and chill sweetly
The perfect star is My Country.
