Let Down

There was an entertainment greater than IPL, I'm feeling let down,

It was abruptly put in abeyance, on social media by some clown.

I had just started getting accustomed, to blackouts and daily swarms,

Even before the match could start, the referee made me lay the arms.  

Nothing unites the country, like cricket and IPL,

To become the third largest economy, in how much did we sell?

War leads to nothing but destruction, especially in border states,

You better bleed by thousand cuts, they've left us to our fates.

 

It was supposed to be a 5 day test, I'm feeling let down,

How we collapsed and it got over, is the talk of the town. 

Was it the nuclear bogey, the US, China, do I care?

That my armed forces were forced to declare, by some politician, how dare!

 

I'll call him a politician, as a leader he's lost respect,

Why do we dress cowardice as love for peace, I'll let you circumspect.
