The leader came to hoist the flag from the rampart.
The flag went up.
The leader slipped from the rampart,
his neck got entangled in the rope of his`Karma',
hoisting the flag.
The flag fluttered, the leader dangled.
Silently the people started dispersing,
the lips moved for a smile,
the smile came to the lips,
then scared away.
