And that's why we need a strong Lokpal!

Hear ye all, my name is Cage Re Wall
And I have decided to play hard ball
This nation is going to the bloody dogs
Politicians are stuffing themselves like hogs
And that's why we need a strong Lokpal!

Pick up your phone, give me missed call
I want your support, from one and all
The very phone you use, it needs spectrum
on which a certain neta made quite a tidy sum
And that's why we need a strong Lokpal!

When you see those buildings standing tall
filled with shops, theatres and called a mall
There's something that makes me drop my jaw
That so much money went to a son-in-law
And that's why we need a strong Lokpal!

I tell you, there is something 'black' in this dal
Some call it coal, while some call it mota maal
The CAG says it was a scam Rs.1.86 lakh worth
The FM says "No loss, coal's still inside Mother Earth"
And that's why we need a strong Lokpal!

Don't ask how these probblems he'll solve
He'll be a person of great moral resolve
Just b'coz he'll be judge, jury and executioner, all in one
I refuse to believe your grounds to fear, my son
That such a Lokpal would soon a monster evolve.

    Thanks. Btw, 'seriously funny' is an oxymoron?

    @ Anon 2:
    Glad you enjoyed. Although I didn't quite get the "your writing should have irony and sarcasm..."

    Some posts are meant to be sarcastic. Some aren't. Most are not meant to be anything other than silly scribbling :)

    "Send this to a newspaper.worth publishin."
    But then, Anon 1 would yawn over this too!

    "Just like your v-day rants!
    Of which we'll have none ;)"
    Oh, we will have many more. But only in February.
