name: pakvitrasthan
age: 75

corrupt leaders are always out with begging bowls
sometime they go to the giant panda
other times to custodian of two holy places
also to the one with the tallest structure
not to forget the international mother f——
the dollars thus received disappears in rulers’ foreign accounts
the cycle keeps on going & going & going without an end
again pakvitrasthan is going through another crisis
like the angels of death, the international mother f—— have arrived
thier demands are many and are very inhumane
the price will be paid by the helpless screwed up pakvitrasthanis
every emergency raises perennial question:
will the country survive, will the country not survive
every utterance “s/he loves me, s/he loves me not” loses a petal in the game
in the similar fashion, in every crisis, pakvitrasthan loses someting
sometime half of pakvitrasthan
sometime religious harmony
sometime peace with neighbors
the missing things rarely reappear — mostly it’s lost forever
unless its electricity which do reappear as it happened recently
a few weeks back, about half of pakvitrasthan was in dark
a few months back, 1/3rd of pakvitrasthan was submerged in water
no one know what the present trouble will entail
