Blacking out!


All my life

I've fought

dealing

with black money. 


Let go

many a good buy!

Let go

many an offer to sell!


Our house

awaits

its new

custodians.


We wait

to fulfil

our cherished

lifetime dream


Of time spent

in the hills

in the evening

of our lives.


But

seeing

the chaos

all around


I wonder

how strong

& principled

I really am.


If enjoined

to pay

double the amount

and only in cash


Would I

prefer 

to be principled?

Or oxygenated?


I don't

think

I'm strong 

enough!


Here

take

my cash

give me the cylinder!
