Press Release

Kuma Raj Subedi

Since long clear and pure
Water from the Himalayas have vanished,
Law and order are breached,
Peace has become obscure,
People are panicking,
Pandemic has torn families apart,
Communal harmony-
Marred and depleted with racism 
Beauty of places and nature
Is diminishing due to pollution,
Toil has lost its value,
Politics has missed its course,
Sun is cursed not to shine in secular land
With Kausaki’s curse,
As you are aware about Nirmala’s situation,
However we have a government
It has issued a press release!
Dear people,
We whole heartedly love you
We are concerned about your situation 
Water is bottled in distillery 
Law and order is being restored 
Peace has been sent to Its missions 
In short term basis 
Fear not the Pandemic 
Population needs to be curbed anyway
We have turmeric 
Simply cough and sneeze it like a flu
Harmony will be restored 
Curbing civil rights 
As we firmly believe 
Liberty stinks like a fart 
Labor is transferred to Gulf
We simply bag remittances and chill out
Politics here is a game
Let us play it 
Till it is ignored and devalued 
Then we will workout a new system 
We’re fasting and meditating in disguise 
To awake Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwor
To caste the bad spell upon us
As we are secular state 
Investigation is a key 
We keep on doing it.
However,
We have been able to form a government 
So please calm down
Everything will be OK!
