Citizen's Journalist

Citizen's Journalist with a microphone to transmit
The age old truth about Diwali, we burst crackers :-(
Walks across the streets of a City at night
Reporting on people who are are having fun, while
He tells us whats bad about Diwali

Citizen's Journalist completes his airtime
Jumps traffic signal because the cops are absent
Drives on the wrong side 'cause there's no one
Spits pan on the neighbours wall - oral emergencies
Well, He's just finished telling us whats bad about Diwali

Citizen's Journalist cares not for public transportation
He dares not to rub the big men for their private jets
And yet he complains of the stench in the society
Pollution in the air, open gutter in the streets
He comes back home with disgust on his face

Citizen's Journalist checks the time - past midnight
The foul smell follows him to his bedroom
He seethes with rage and rushes into his bathroom
Only to realize that he's forgotten to flush
Realization dawns at midnight - after freedom from CJ-hood

"I am as much a part of the problem
What does it take for me to be part of the solution"
He tosses the CJ microphone into a recycle bin
And makes a solemn resolution - "I will stop whining,
And start solving problems
"

TV breaks into another Citizen Journalist who is out
To point finger at a society
Same pattern repeats all over again
He's forgotten to see that four other fingers
Alas, point at him
