A Casual Gossip Poem by V P Mahur

Four persons
Standing on a bus stop
Waiting for the bus to arrive
Tried to the boredom revive
First one
Throwing the last parts of
His burning cigarette on the floor
And smashing it with his boot core
Speaks with a scorn
‘How dirty the place is! '
The government is shameless and
The workers are careless'
Second one
In his stylish tone
Spitting red
Out of beetle from his mouth, said
‘You are right bro!
Look, nobody is there
To clean this public sphere'
Third one
Throwing the empty pack of chips
Laughingly speaks
‘All are idiots, dear friends
These are their trends
Not to clean
Any dustbin'
Fourth one
Just favouring none
Spoke with a fun
‘the toilets here are too dirty
So I had to stand
Out of the stand
For my natures call
Openly before all'
The bus arrived
And all four critics
Leaving all their cares
Entered into the bus
Like the flares
