Monday went by, not many had a hunch
On its way was a double sucker punch
Come Tuesday night and Wednesday morn
Awhole brave new world was born
Past, said Modi of the 500 & 1000 note
Future, preened Trump after the shock vote
The Present, reeling from the impact
Still coming to terms with the bare fact
Long lines at ATMs and also at banks
Workers, elders — motley are the ranks
Some pain, much gain, say powers-that-be
A surgical strike to cut black money tree
Moneybags, they say, are all helter skelter
Worthless notes seeking shelter
I understand, says the common man
But for my daily needs, didn't you plan?
Banks without notes, ATMs running dry
Frustration mounting, tempers high
Get this sorted soon, the public is king
It knows how to praise and how to sting
Many shores away in the US of A
To the far right, the liberals gave way
Hillary's loss and Donald's gain
Fear many, portends much pain
Barriers may see global trade fall
Tensions could rise with the Mexican wall
On Muslims, tough was Trump's talk
Chinese too will be watching like a hawk
Global markets turned quite meek
The Sensex was down 455 points last week
Aweak show by banks added to the pain
Long way to go, their bad loan gravy train
