Magpie fights with a buck 
knocking beak on the buck's head 
monkeys in rally jump on road and trees, train like an arrow runs on the track , a pack of haunting dogs bark 
wolves howl predators munch 
canines chase herds of beasts 
it is the Kheda in jungle! 

Enormous delicate nests like the volleys hang on the trees swing in fear 
train runs slow on the bridge 
beating the drums over river 
ripples murmur, jargon oppresses 
a civilized man hired the muscle men 
rough hooligans mad and wicked 
vandal estates people to fate 
hysteria, phobia and anxiety 
beat the drums of destiny 
in this favourite game of Kheda 
dholak of culture hangs 
around the Civilization's neck 
wicked hands beat the dholak unprecedentedly 
no node no rhythm no harmony 
where the devotees sing violent 
vulgar songs titillating ecstasies 
offering perfumes to harlots 

It is Kheda to dirty Civilization 
wolves with envy eyes and thirsty tongues having no mercy 
and pieces of bone 
prowl to tear flesh and bones 
ready to suck and lick blood of humanity.
