Poetic Justice

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!”
