An ( Imaginary) satirical elegy on the deaths of many

     An (imaginary) satirical elegy on the death of many .

  Alas! Countless  there are, closer  to Breathless  sleep,
   Nay,possibly, wriggling in  acute pain, wreath in  vain.
   Perhaps,  pretending, pining, ailing, counting coins  Gold ,
   Cut   Groining  and moiling ,wishing  for  some   more  hard work,
   More  luxury, more homes, more infrastructure.                                      
   Gripped  the victims  by hoops  of  praise   and  flattery.
    Hard  hearted, holding  their  hearts  coughing,
    Wishing for  more  Gold  and   Silver   in  their coffers,
    Do they  call  the  gods  to  aid  them?
    Hare  Krishna ,Hare Rama, where  are you?
     No  Rama ,or Krishna   comes  to  their  rescue,
    For  hitherto   those vile,  denigrated   Their existence.
    Nay!  every word  uttered
    Or muttered is   a  sly  curse  or  vituperation.
    Some  seem to  smile, or  awakened,
     Do  they  realize how  many they  would have
    Strangled, killed  alive  in  life span.
    A   sheer  sadism they  delighted in.
    A mighty  armour   for  them to wear.

    Gather   here, all  the  onlookers,
    Behold! how  arrogance   and ambition suffer,
    Harsh tongues, silent manoeuvres   
      Gain them  their  dues.
