Brainpower Lips about Brainteaser: Shamsher Singh Sandhu
Sometimes Newspapers and Governments keep hands in glove
Sometimes Newspapers and Governments meet head-on
Occasionally Newspapers bend before Governments
Occasionally Newspapers knock out Governments
On someone Newspapers fall hopelessly-cruelly
On someone just Newspapers do kindness
Sometimes Newspapers behave as Governments
Don’t know as to why Newspapers tolerate this weakness
Sometimes Governments collapse because of Newspapers
Sometime Newspapers face boldly Governments
Sometimes Newspapers fear from Governments
Sometimes Governments feel panicky from Newspapers
Sometimes Newspapers stand boldly for truthfulness
Sometimes Newspapers ignore truthfulness
Newspapers occasionally by laughing pass burning river
Sometimes Newspapers witnessed burnt at cross roads
Applaud for Newspapers who disapprove dictates of Governments
What could be said about Newspapers who are afraid of from system?
High severely and improbable wires do also climb Newspapers
But Sometimes Newspapers do encircle by high improbable wires
Some Newspapers are destroyed as a target of Governments
Some Governments put on fire Newspapers
Common and in general people believe as true news published by Newspapers
Don’t they know as to why and what news published by Newspapers
Mostly to spy or to influence to know the truth news published by Newspapers
Sometimes but the true story is suppressed by Newspapers
Some are seasonal writer, intentionally and deliberately, they do so
Remembering why and what are published by Newspapers
As Newspapers publish some write accordingly
Some writers write as the same published by Newspapers
There was time when one Newspaper used to be read in five six houses
Now one man reads five six Newspapers daily
Some Newspapers scrutinizing each news carefully and publish
Some Newspapers create dilemma and commotion in news and publish
Newspapers do have responsibility as to what is conveyed in Newspapers
Sometimes but, intentionally and deliberately, do play foolishly some Newspapers
In Magazine, the same script five or seven hundred do read
The same script read by lacs and thousands in Newspapers
Some Journalists are intelligent, sober and receptive
Some use pens as if swords are in actions during war
To simple news, sometimes Newspapers do complicate-complex
Sometimes to complicate-complex news are solved by Newspapers
Largely and occasionally Newspapers do publish good news Sometimes,
but good news are eat*en and as food swallowed by Newspapers
