15th August 2011

10 years back,
A proud Indian I was,
Today,
Just an Indian I am.

Frustration,
Is the feeling of the decade,
Corruption,
Is the fad of the day.

 

 

Crore,
Is the penny of the new millennium,
Scam,
Is the success mantra of the modern.

Beer,
Is purer than the water of Ganges,
Potato,
Is as expensive as eating cheese cake.

Autocracy,
In India is called democracy,
Hope,
Is the Indian judiciary?

Cricket,
The bold mistress thrives,
Hockey,
The silent wife cries.

Honour,
Now stands for domesticide,
Inflation,
Will soon be the synonym for suicide.

Spineless,
We have become,
Middle-ageds,
It’s time to wake up.

Youth,
Will be our torch bearers,
Senior citizens,
Are our cheer leaders.

India,
Here we come dear,
15th August,
Our flag will forever flutter.
