Poetic Justice
December 5, 2006
The MPs screamed, “This is not right!
We demand accountability!
Our cricketers lose without a fight,
They deserve no mercy or pity!”
“Remove them now!”, the chorus yelled,
“They have failed our mighty nation.
Even their coach must be felled,
And sent on an unpaid vacation!”
The common man then quickly replied,
“Oh representatives I must agree!
All those who’ve let our country slide
Must be punished, not set free!”
“But forget cricket, it’s but a game,
I know offenders far worse.
They are our nation’s biggest shame,
Our single-largest curse!”
“I elect them to enrich my land,
They exploit its poverty instead.
In every scam they have a hand,
And every riot they have led.”
“So if you talk accountability then
Leave aside cricketers for now.
Own up yourselves you failed men,
You’ve cheated us silly, and how!”
“And when you leave, please also resign
From all sporting bodies you control.
You’ll find that Indian sport will shine
And regain all the glory you stole!”

If the one day results made u write poetry, then u could publish a full fledged book after the test series. With key players like Sachin(who’s determined to replace Dravid as India’s Wall), Dravid and Irfan(where’s the swing?) woefully out of form and into this mix you put Ganguly, it looks like a perfect recipe for disaster. The test series is going to one bumpy ride for the batsmen and somehow I feel that Ganguly is not the only one who’ll struggle with the rising ball. And sadly at the end of it all, the fans will be left with lousy excuses like bouncy pitches, inexperience,…..the works!!!

Out of my shade, out of my sight
There are so many who would always fight
A fight for a cause, a fight for hypocrisy
A promise to deliver and a promise to failure
I am no one sitting by the sideline
I am no one till death imposes a fine
Oh my lord ! you should be there
To support all which is free and fair…
