Desperate statues

Statue wars : Mayawati stops Mulayam from inaugurating a statue.

Accidents happen, people are dead,
"I have no money to grant", she said,
"But let me just tell you,
I'm planning my big statue,
And no, power has not gone to my head"

No one else's statues will now be raised
Old leaders orally can be always praised,
But Mulayam said ,"see here,
I'm garlanding that of Lohia,
And continued to climb the ladder unfazed.


And so the state sent police, who disrupted
The balance of the ladder, and all hell erupted,
An observer shook his head,
Saying Statues honor the dead,
What can you do if the living are so corrupted ?
