Jessica

Jessica died

Some people cried

And then they lost the case.

Manu walked

Coz no one talked

Justice has its ways.


Manu's dad

Was big and bad

And pulled out all the stops.

to cover the tracks

With cash in stacks

To the Shaayans and the cops.


Bina and daughter

Threw lots of water

On the bloodstains in the bar.

Who disappeared quicker

Than the illegal liquor

Was the culprit in the car.


Years after the crime

There came a time

When the case was opened again.

Jethmalani

Came into the kahaani

For the slayer, not the slain.


There's lots of talk

With pain and shock

Of where the case is going.

The sex angle

The socialite tangle

The intricacies are growing.


It's a filmy plot

With all that's hot

Violence, glamour and sex.

The heroine is nailed

the vamp is jailed

The villains are saving their necks.


But it's not a movie

In which a groovy

Macho hero crashes the party.

Beats up the crooks

While the system just looks

And everything's hale and hearty.


In the land of zero

There is no hero

Who will bring the bad to book.

There was a Ram

Who said no Ma'am

I'd rather represent the crook.
