'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 nursery rhyme
