Squint eye
aiming at Washington looking at Sanghai.
a god’s gift
an aid to chit.
Grieve you for poor child here
but the healthy child is your dear.
Ostentatious we are
under the benevolence flair.
Enjoy under guise
with fake and false promise.
Try for our good and beauty
crying for needy and poverty.
None can doubt
even if ethics we flout.
Cry we here
with feigned tear
for the mal nutritious child
acting self centered and wild
to nurture at his cost
our own child most.
Aiming at unlucky many
We act dubious and funny
to plunder for our child
to take us a heaven ward ride
at our old age and after our death
even expecting him to hold on our last breath
But God perhaps has no squint eye
to Him you cannot lie.
