The Government Babu

The day has started; same irritating "cries",
all of them being steel clad family "ties".
The government "babu" at last stepped out,
daintily,delicately in rhythmic rhythme,
he is as usual far far beyond,
the impregnable barrier of time.
Launching upon his typical gait,
he reached the office;usually late.
A short,sharp rebuke by the "boss",
there is apparently not much loss.
Boisterously greeting the immense crowded "sea",
he settles down on his steaming precious "tea".
As the work piles high on his dreary table,
he sticks like glue to Graham Bell's cable.
His "clients" rushing in hot scurry,
he however is in no great hurry.
The ugly,overloaded thickened files,
appear so disasterously mired,
a hour of atrocious compelling work,
has made him so "tired".
The clock then chimed;evening on the way,
The "babu" has ended yet another day.
In a land known for such renowned diversity,
the babu remains;an "evil" necessity.
The government may yet get some name,
the "babu" however is still dying,
to climb up to fame.
