Alas! Where is my great country moving?
Bother, not you and I, alone but all should
Casteless society one can hardly expect now
Doctors and health care not in reach of many
Engineers and Technocrats are of no good quality
Foreign aid and Investment aren’t in requisite fields
Good governance preached more and practiced less
Heavenly promises to the poor on the election-eve
Ideal leaders and simplest souls are rare in Politics
Jackals and Mafias active ever for ruling the roost
Kama sutra and sexy life order of the day and night
Love and compassion aren’t the goal of many saints
Money and Media take care of the powerful humans
Nobody, rather not many, are fit to fight the injustice
Ordinary souls are helpless against organized gangs
Politics and bureaucracy exhibiting the worst signs
Queens, Kings and their protégé trying dynastic rule
Republic of India democratic in form, despotic in content
Socialistic pattern of Indian society nowhere in the scene
Travelling across the nation reveals such a dirty environ
Umpteen scandals keep exposing the Indian public face
Very soon we propose to overtake China in numbers
Will our planners and rulers mean business in action?
X-ray of the Indian Diaspora keeps decrying our inaction
Yester year Indians played a role much better than ours
Zealous & serious we should be to soon match the West
