Vidi Writes - White Oil

A Roadblock
The cause -

Public Distribution System
Unloading the Blue Oil
Through a Tanker.
Huge gathering
Rich and poor
Already present
Claiming their stake.

A Confrontation
The cause –

Vehicles eager
To pull on to destination.
No time to see
Fear of white oil
Reflecting in those eyes.
Police called to clear the way
With strength of their gun.

An evil - Starvation
The Reason –

Cost of cooking
Costlier, the huts bear,
Cost of vehicle oil
Most owners don’t care.
Among all pains
Lone, love, lust … a big list
Cost of white oil, is the worst.


(Blue Oil - Kerosene (cooking oil) sold at ration shops - cheaper
White Oil - Kerosene sold at open market - costlier)
