Quatrain CXXXXI -- WHO SEZ ITS A SCAM?

Grubby land grabbing is past

Rustling up SEZ after SEZ

Quatrain CXXXIX -- TERROR SONG II

Terror isn’t all about hate
There’s passion too
And a love,
For dismembering doves

Quatrain CXXXVII -- WHAM BAM MATARAM

Designer tri-colour tilaks on the head
Politics, a buttered loaf of garlic bread
Patriotism is fine refuge for scum
Why fuss over ‘One-Day Mataram’

Sporting a 'tilak' in the form of Vande Mataram written on his forehead....
BJP for Vande Mataram singing to be a fundamental duty

Or perhaps conceals her tear, when
