Our leaders chat gaily
of power and finance,
insuring their elections
with regular premiums
of caste and religion.  

Our leaders chat gaily
of missiles and warheads
investing our dreams
in engineered inflation
of food, fuel, and what not!  

Our leaders chat gaily
of rice and sugar scams
in posh resorts
illegally built on agricultural land. 

Our leaders chat gaily
of comets and asteroids
possibly hitting us in 1000 years.
They brew up the storm,
and we feel the effect.
