इधर भी गधे, उधर भी गधे हैं, ओमप्रकाश आदित्य / Ode to Donkeys, Om Prakash Aditya (Satire poem)

An ode to Donkeys - Idhar bhi Gadhe hain, Udhar bhi Gadhe hain!

This is a satirical poem written by Om Prakash Aditya back in the day, always relevant and a reminder of Harishankar Parsai's writings. The poem uses Donkey as a symbol of all that was wrong in our politics and society in general. I have added a couple of my couplets to the original poem, which are relevant in today's time :-) There is also some commentary on how good Donkeys actually are. इधर भी गधे हैं, उधर भी गधे हैं

जिधर देखता हूं, गधे ही गधे हैं...

घोडों को मिलती नहीं घास देखो

गधे खा रहे हैं च्यवनप्राश देखो....
