ANOTHER INDEPENDENCE DAY - An Ode

 On the 66th Independence Day 
We have certainly lost our way,
As criminals and crooks hold sway.
Parliament has become a den of people with questionable bcakground,
As at the law they cock a snook.
Instead of law and order,
We have more rapes and murder.
 


With the dollar at more than sixty,
2nd fastest growing economy is a fancy.
Years of Congress misrule,
See how the people they fool.

 

Masters in corruption and deception,
Democracy for the nation is an illusion.
Officers who fight against corruption, 
Are shunted out and face suspension.

 

Congress party's principal anxiety,
Is cosy comfort for the dynastic family.
All their grandiose schemes,
Are money minting themes.
First was the scam of CWG,
Followed by the Coal and 2G.
Sacrosanct is the letter G,
To whom they bow and scrape,
Their main route for escape.
All kinds of Mafias flourish,
As the government watches with relish,
And bows down to their wish.





 
 

The Country is on the way to a Banana Republic,
Eventually to become a crumbling relic.
The Prime Minister is like a Sphinx,
He is the country's biggest jinx,
His hallmark is studious silence,
For total lack of governance.



 But the world he keeps roaming, 
And makes deals without speaking, 
And what we get is nothing!



Two so called wizard Singhs,
Ignorant of the country's happenings.
Have no concept of what is poverty,
By heaping on the nation more misery,
With a cockeyed figures of mockery.

    




The government has no guts or firm policy,
Hence neighbours we become suckers juicy
Instead of a fast growing economy,
We have become a stuttering pygmy!!
So what use is an Independence Day Celebration, 
When our much lauded democracy is a massive hallucination!!

Mother please don't cry,
No not on your birthday!
Here, don your tricolor
Put on some gold, some flowers, some fragrance
And let's go get you some fresh air!

 


I know you despair,
Over the recent acts of your wicked sons.
But did you not tell me once,
That the five fingers of a hand
Are not all the same?

Your good and worthy children
Are flying your flag with distinction
In every corner of the world, home included
They should be your pride and joy
Look, they are beaming at you from near and far

Mother please don't cry
No, not on your birthday
If you do, you will make us all unhappy
I won't have you dragging us down.
I won't have it, I won't have it, I won't have it.

Mother please smile!
You are here, all sixty six, and look at you!
I have come across the sea
With you for a moment to be
Come on mother, let's see it, let's see that
Mother India smile!
