Tycoon's Charity Poem by Binu Mathew

Tycoon's Charity

Rating: 5.0

Like a horse wearing blinders,
The beer-bellied tycoon headed,
Straight to the treasure-laden shrine,
Through a long narrow lane,
Flanked by tons of tin-roofed slums;
The monuments of marginalization,
And donated precious offerings,
To all mute deities!
