You have promised
That by by fifty days
Normalcy
In wake of demonetisation
But now money does not matter
As only those pick heads
Are desperately trying to
Prove innocence
And ATM machines
Have struck work
Poor in villages
Have no work no money
Are given tutorials to understand
Meaning of demonetisation
I am also not sure
Because the economics I learnt
In college spoke only of consumption
Laws
And now those laws do not work
As there is no money for consumption
All are black.

A nice poem!
Politicians known for
Generous promises
Not serious enough
To honor them!
Demonetization option
Not viable for sure
To root out black money
Allowed to grow unimagined!
Iron will of the existing
Law-enforcement machinery
Would have been sufficient
To bring the offenders in the open!
The process on the contrary
Put the common man in distress
Driving him to the streets
To have his money for his needs!
Does he come back
With the money he needs?
An emphatic NO!
Is he not cheated?
