Eleven Out Of Ten Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Eleven Out Of Ten

Rating: 5.0


A Tele anchor asked a biz man:
Sir, how fair you find this Budget Plan?
Bold vision all so rare,
It'd take us far and fair,
I'd rate it eleven out of ten!
_____________________________________________
Indian business men and billionaires by far are a timid lot. Privately they have many a grudge against government policies, but they know which side of their bread has butter, and would think twice before a word would they utter. They may have many a minion in their little fiefdom, but would always fold their hands and bend heads in front of the power that be.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
On this poetry site, it has been a tradition to rate a poem, if rated, as 10 or even 10+++ (if only because eleven is not allowed) . Anything less than that seems anathema!

Unless the business magnates get the support of those in power, they know they won't be successful. So they conceal their grudge and put on a pleased appearance. Money being the top priority, no one bothers about self respect....! A hard punch on today's politicians and other money grubbers!

Well said, dear poet, but business is not the only field, we find this phenomenon almost everywhere, the field of poetry no less. Imagine what happens when everyone agrees with everyone: no progress. Thanks.

Dear poet,10+++ in a way shows, an indicator that you liked it so much. The difference in your eleven and that of a biz man is: you mean it and back it boldly and fully. Thank you so much.

Many wealthy men and women are very careful to speak on government policies for fear of their businesses..10.
