The Aap Activists Are Coming

As the whirlwind comes Playing with, hurling around, As the bees from a beehive With a stone thrown into, As do they nukkad sabhas Or enact the dramatic road shows, The Gandhian freedom fighters With the lathi and others, Looking like but are not, Many just for the pension money With names entered into, The stuntmen with the broomsticks, The Bermuda shorts and the caps donned over Like the people jogging in the park, Doing the gym activities. To keep the things hanging in vacuum, To create a situation like That of a domestic hullabaloo And some pandemonium political, To make a mockery of democracy Their job, Hidden strategy and plan And in getting the mission carried out, Some bureaucrats also together with As for to come into power, To be public faces, To get the post-retirement benefits In the form of lucrative placement and posting, Oh, the tactics and techniques of the people of the urban space, I mean the citymen, the townsmen, Doing a jig at the market-place.
