Sports Day and Exploitation – A Poem by P.K. Deb

Hip- hip- hurray–
The suppressed hearts must bloom today
as the bloodless lips get back their lost smiles,
Let’s play, the annual village sports day is on today.

Hip- hip- hurray–
The exploitation is on leave and departed
with its ugly blood sucking oppression
and grants a relief to the exploited today.

Hip- hip- hurray–
The blissful minds are absolutely unmindful
to their plough, cattle, sweating, low-wage,
poverty, indebtedness and illness today.

Hip- hip- hurray–
The indigents witness the annual smile
on the face of the landlord fortunately
instead of regular reproof and frowning today.

Hip- hip- hurray–
A rare competition is to be contested
among the feeble who are already
defeated and receded under compulsion today.

Hip- hip- hurray–
an amazement is to be ensued definitely
as the heartless hands are preceded
for the poor’s heartfelt enjoyment today.

No more hurray, that’s all for today
as the village sports day is almost over
and the poor’s are to be refaced the demon-
the exploitation with its oppression from tomorrow.
