| Since once I sat upon a promontory
And looked around to the earth, To my horror & to my surprise Octopuses on land, it wasn�t mirth. These deadly creatures Though not really octopodes Like ordinary men they walk�d & talk�d Their nefarious designs fully exposed. The gangsters & scamsters hand in glove Roamed the corridors of power The law makers & the law breakers Who sat in the ivory towers? Disguised as leaders of masses They plunder the nation at will They�re the law unto themselves Who allow the passage of every bill? These religious fanatics Who spread the communal hatred The self proclaimed representatives of God To whom nothing infact is sacred. |

| Their lust for money, with wine & honey
Has brought the nation ignomy & shame These vultures &wolves in sheep�s clothing Are ever busy in their vicious game. But trapped among these sucker OCTOPUSES I can also visualize OYSTERS on land These wise & noble & gentle souls Whose tribe is now a dwindling clan? These enlightened men, the lustrous gems Shall fight & turn the tide The corrupt & the rogues will run But no place to hide Hope is there And hope sustains life The TRUTH shall triumph With peace around & no strife. OCTOPUSES will again sink to the bottom And hide their faces in the darken�d depths OYSTERS will bloat & merrily float The last laugh of the mysterious adept. |
