Women are
unsafe, but look at what they’re worried about,
Don’t dress
in that, against our culture, should not be allowed,
People are
dying; cold and hungry,
Housewives
crying; worried and angry,
But all they
can think of is how to crush our dissent,
Invitations
to those who fund terror are being sent.
What is
wrong?
What is
wrong with all of you?
We are a
nation,
A nation
with more pressing issues.
Girls are
still being slaughtered,
We still
drink dirty water,
But all we
get to hear from our leaders,
Need a
temple for all 'Ram' believers,
And then the
others shout, we won’t let that be,
Muslims need
a mosque, and not bread and money,
But who
cares what the Indians want,
Fear of
crime continues to haunt,
We are
afraid of stepping out of house,
They stay
safe in their cages like a mouse.
They make
the noise if they lose their car,
Our bodies
are but a godown of the shards,
And we have
none but self to blame,
Crown them
king, again and again.
They gulp
down our money; cases go on and on,
Our drinking
water is sprinkled in their lawn,
But all we
get to see is waving of the flags,
Cutting of
ribbons, for projects that will lag,
Roads that
won’t be built, tracks that won’t be laid,
Money that
won’t be spent, but will be shown as paid,
But who
cares what we Indians need,
They have
their whole coterie to feed,
And only
time when they speak in unity,
Is when they
vote to raise their salaries.
They launch
the ads, preaching ‘save the fuel, hey man’,
While they
travel in their lengthy caravans,
And we have
none but ourselves to blame,
Make their
son a prince, and things stay the same.
It is all
wrong,
It is all
wrong for the nation,
It is all
wrong,
We are
heading for termination,
It is all
wrong,
If this is
democracy, it’s a lie,
We stay
trapped,
In the web of
dynasties, like a fly.
