Paper power, promises coated in lies,
Insurmountable summit
Pulled down,
So you can touch it,
Only just,
Which becomes elusive once your nail is inked.
*
Just the perfect time
To unveil Ram's statue, tall as tall is,
Arrow nocked towards an ostensible purpose,
His quiver a handy plug-point;
To the right- national highway
On the left- the mini Taj,
People with tethered attentions move
Along the silver chariot and the DJ's dichiking.
*
Cartons tape and wrap-
In half a truck- a life
That was lived so much-
Off so little.
