~ A fasting caveat to a failing democracy
Some memories do linger longer in human brain
Have we ever or will we ever try to forget
Our freedom fought with sacrifice and pain,
The war we fought and won with an epithet.
Witnessing a massive interest in non-violence,
Eight into eight years hence, the same august
Bringing in memories of Bapuji in present tense
Thanks to Anna Hazare, bizarre in name, but just.
Corruption, often found in diction, now rampant,
With political imbroglio and disaster invitation,
Leaders, a few, collude with antisocial element,
Selfishly staking the nation into indignation.
Cancer of corruption with venomous pangs in wait
Something to be done fast before disintegration,
Freedom of our nation to be protected as a trait.
Wake up call has come now, to rise to the occasion.
We need a party that rules, not ruins the nation,
Governing, safeguarding people in right earnest
Their needs, their freedom of mind with devotion,
Defiant Anna, needs a dedicated public with zest
Succumbing never before these rulers, sans spine
Many under a spectrum of corruption and practice
A distraught nation needs Anna’s ilk and doctrine
Let us hail Lokpal, hail Anna, may his tribe increase
Have we ever or will we ever try to forget
Our freedom fought with sacrifice and pain,
The war we fought and won with an epithet.
Witnessing a massive interest in non-violence,
Eight into eight years hence, the same august
Bringing in memories of Bapuji in present tense
Thanks to Anna Hazare, bizarre in name, but just.
Corruption, often found in diction, now rampant,
With political imbroglio and disaster invitation,
Leaders, a few, collude with antisocial element,
Selfishly staking the nation into indignation.
Cancer of corruption with venomous pangs in wait
Something to be done fast before disintegration,
Freedom of our nation to be protected as a trait.
Wake up call has come now, to rise to the occasion.
We need a party that rules, not ruins the nation,
Governing, safeguarding people in right earnest
Their needs, their freedom of mind with devotion,
Defiant Anna, needs a dedicated public with zest
Succumbing never before these rulers, sans spine
Many under a spectrum of corruption and practice
A distraught nation needs Anna’s ilk and doctrine
Let us hail Lokpal, hail Anna, may his tribe increase
