I AM A BIG THIEF

jvl narasimha rao

I am a big thief

And I live in Independent India

On the 64th independence day

I was beaten almost to death

By the police

Because I was hungry

And tried to steal

An apple from a fruit vendor’s

 

On the same day

I saw the photograph

Of an officer

In all the leading news papers

He was given the best administrator’s

Award by the GOVERNMENT

He takes bribes everyday openly

I am a big thief and sinner

He is  a  great officer and award winner
