The living are forced to share

Space with COVID dead

But is that Head uneasy

Which cannot provide a bed?

Medicos are targetted

Petty officials taken to task

But is that Head uneasy

Which cannot provide a mask?

The jobless trudge hungry

Thousands of migrants walk

But is that Head uneasy

Which only likes to talk?

Batons lash uncontrolled

The helpless bear the brunt

But is that Head uneasy

Which calls it just a stunt?

The followers will cheer

And no one dare ask 'Why'?

But is that Head uneasy

At those flowers from the sky?

Recall words of wisdom

Before you fret and frown:

"Uneasy should lie the Head

Which is wearing the Crown!"
