'Husha Husha, We All Fall Down'*
You are not the only one to fall
Stop feeling targeted, victimized
Capital will consume one and all.
Look at people thronging the city mall
Sold to designer names, instant delights
You are not the only one to fall
Widowed women on knees to Allah call
And though you put a tongue to every wound
Capital will consume one and all.
Caesar of Rome too had his curtain-call
Men, women and children of oil-cursed lands
You are not the only one to fall
Soon the eagle soaring-in-flight will stall
And plummet to the carrion-covered earth
You are not the only one to fall
Capital will consume one and all.

*Ring around the rosie,
A pocketful of posie,
Husha, husha,
We all fall down.
A pocketful of posie,
Husha, husha,
We all fall down.
A nursery rhyme
