Endangered by the epidemic
with dengue and malaria on the anvil
mosquitoes humming in rhythmic
saying that monsoon has failed in the wheel
scarcity of water being the cause of misery
the civic authorities remain dazed in ignorance
knowing not what to do to stop the infectious emissary
as all along they had been busy in reference
not to their duties but in filling their treasury
sharing with not the have-nots in inference
but making their families revel in wealth mostly
now the tiny insect has bit them so hard with a difference
stinging them not physically but in a way discordantly
hitting their morality forcibly 
that they stand in preference
accused in front of the public and legality
with true sense of guilt and indifference
