Why did I live in India?- an ode to NSEL

The agony of living in INDIA

I was born in India and chose it as the country of my living
A democracy with robust legal systems I was led into believing

I worked hard ,made money and paid my taxes with a smile
Thought  there was a system backup should things ever turn hostile

There was wily shyster from Mumbai with crazy greed for pelf
Ace crook with knack of greasing  palms and so full of himself

He created exchanges by the ton and flaunted them with pride
Bureaucrats,media and politicians all in his deep pocket did reside

Rules, regulations, controls and caution all went for a big toss
Ministries, SEBI, FMC all conceded  the crook was the real boss

He started novel trading schemes and every statute  he defied
With starting of NSEL , fairness  truth and honesty all died

NSEL  and greedy brokers had designs on investors' wealth
They dangled a carrot and extracted investors' monies with stealth

In July some FMC babu abruptly put a spoke in Jiggy's wheel
He wrote a letter which was not a part of Jignery pokery deal

The financial merry-go-around of NSEL came to a screeching halt
On July 31st the shit hit the fan and gullible investors got a rude jolt

Steel, Paddy, Castor and Sugar  they traded only existed on paper
The hard earned money of investors vanished like a whiff of vapour

Shah, Anjani and brokers pulled a real fast one on investors lame
The brazen con played could've even put  Harshad Mehta to shame

The Shah and his pals are free even after heinous criminal acts
After 3 yrs of scam they are still busy burying evidence and facts 

Hard earned money looted and Government doesn't give a damn
The Shah is surely getting away in spite of  this brazen scam

Why did I live in India with systems so damn corrupt and lax
If there was never any protection why did I pay crores in tax?
