COMMISSION GHOSTS
A rustic reached a cosmopolitan city
Together with his family and young children
Brimmed with hopes and curiosity:
A new life, a new occupation and a new den!
First he met a traffic police man
Who told to board a more convenient van.
Then he turned to a person for a quick solution
To locate a more affordable accommodation.
Approached he then a job provider
Welcomed who with his arms wider.
Being appointed within an instant
Joys inside started to be rampant.
Glad to find the pseudo god-incarnates
He asked his neighbour for a better tuition
Where his children could top the institution;
Gladder to help, he too arranged for his monthly ration
Introduced him with a soft speaking family (physician) leech
For cheaper treatments, commissioned tests and easier reach!
How fortunate and rapturous he was there!
How, like Ben Adhem, the species were rare!
Alas! Until himself obsessed by the same Commission Ghost
He remembered them with an indebted, submissive respect utmost.
N.B: This poem deals with the commission systems almost at every sphere of life mostly in cities. Even the victim of commission of yesterday practises the same when he is acquainted with the same prevalent system.
