I Feel Betrayed. Amidst Caron

I'm 27 years old.

Many times I have seen the vegetable vendors

Throwing away leafy vegetables, vegetables

On the road, after the market is over

We can't bargain

They won't decrease a single penny

The price is what they have decided

Being proud Indian

I feel betrayed

When the same farmers

Get exemption on taxes every year

When they burn the rice, wheat on roads

When they throw away onions tomatoes

Being a proud Indian

I feel betrayed

Among this lockdown

When Trump gave money to every individual

When Boris Johnson did

And Modiji played tricks by announcing lumpsum.

I was betrayed all the time when all my classmates

Got their fee in scholarship from Government

And I was paying the fee, and many others

Because of religion and caste bias.

When Modi has announced 10000 to those

Autowalas who never run on meter

Who never follow rules

Who has always looted me, us

"Thanks to uber and ola"

And I'm being paid none

And many a times

A proud indian like me was betrayed

Is betrayed being betrayed

Hopefully, soon I have to do justice

To myself if not to others.
