On New Arrivals.

      On New Arrivals.

The streets are empty.
Where is the crowd I asked for?
People have gone to pick up rags.
Containers are busy transporting currencies.
Battered roads need fillers,more than
Banners and cutouts,judicially disapproved.
A day's food is not enough to lure the crowd.
It is not election time for easy money transfer.
Risky raids are an edgy confrontation.
There is a lookout for principles,
Rather than persons who can lead.
Do principles exist in letter and spirit?.
However, print them with fanfare,
Much before they are conceived.
Crowd pulling needs page corrections.
It is numbers everywhere,to lead and loot.
Cooking up numbers is not on Fast food  menu.
Nor do leaders contemplate empty bars.
A teetotaler governance,tears the base.
Pull the rags, quench the thirst;
Halls are great for guest feeding.
Talk not the way you want to,
But they way you are wanted to. 
Word filling is as tough as crowd pulling.
Hurry up fast and harness the stage,
Before you are heckled and booed in rage.
Teething problems are trump cards for rivals.
Brush them white,with your teasers and trials.
Screen and street, hungrily await new arrivals.
