Critique of an Indian politician
Namma Oora Kothi
Neeti Geeti Naeti
Hottu banda
Haage kodeya
Hidiyuvantha Jaati!

*Our village monkey**
Is a shrewd strategist,
Changing allegiance,
As one changes direction,
Of an umbrella held against rain
(*This is not a faithful translation, but it does express the meaning of the original poem.
**In the poem, the politician is compared to a shrewd monkey)
