THE GODLY
Prof. Hazara Singh
Why bother about an Olympic medal
Gold, silver or of any other metal?
Why run, jump, swim or vigorously pedal?
Physical feats are not a gainful mettle.
Barbarians box, the thick-headed wrestle
The godly like not to strike or grapple.
Through hawala, all top deals they settle
Their progeny they, thus, groom and nestle.
Rath yatra, an ancient hero-worship game
Is organized for removing national shame.
Now and then a city gets the corrective name
For regaining its snatched historical fame.
Whatever charges, the investigation may frame
For exposing scams that led to financial
drain
Are stoutly scuttled through brawn and brain.
Through intrigues the godly top in every
domain
