The Yakub Saga

The Yakub Saga
============

For eight years, he awaited the noose
Full of petulence, but no remorse
He started his tricks from the TADA Court
Worked his way up to the Supreme Court.

Thank God, the laws of the land prevailed
In anticipation of the D-Day, Yakub remained jailed
Just when justice was about to be delivered
Howls of protest from the media appeared.

"Spare him, he is innocent", proclaimed Salman's court
Never mind the "conspirator" title by the Apex Court
"He is being hanged, because he is muslim", said Owaisi
Suddenly, minority politics had become all too easy.

" Time to review the death penalty" howled Tharoor
" It is inhuman, be kind to the traitor" said the media
Instead of Yakub, they almost hung the judiciary,
In all this melee, the TRP rating was the beneficiary.

Where are those guardians of humanitarianism now?
Where are those wanting to end capital punishment now?
Wait for another dastardly attack, for another Yakub to show up,
For, then, the TRP ratings again are sure to go up.
