MARCH ON!

A storm before the lull!

A lull before the storm?

Fret not the alarming norms;

A nation is in the making, -

As heat is must for baking.

‘Social justice’ is not the case,

 ‘Crafty’ leaders make it sublime –

Virtue made of rising crime’,

Look deep into lunatic mystery,

Such bits make national history.

‘Bofor kickback’ or ‘Securities Scam’,

‘JMM Bribe’ or ‘Sukh Rams–treasures’,

Don’t ye discuss ‘Sahara disclosures’?

Let CBI sleuths search their souls!

Don’t they dance like ‘Master’s doll?

Why wonder over police excesses?

Forget even corrupted bureaucracy!

Celebrate dears! It is coveted democracy!

Henious ‘Scams’  our democracy adorns –

For, immoral people sit on the throne.

Government cries for paucity of funds!

Roads on 'papers', water not supplied –

For, shortage of food, millions do die;

But ‘Miss-world –show’ promotes our culture!

As ‘Jackson’ or ‘Yaani’ make us rupture.

‘Follow diktat of the information age –

‘Bill Gates’ message does sound right,

Is Kentucky- chicken our staple diet?

Let vultures eat butcher’s meat!

Let evil devour evil’s fleet!

Debate ye over dowry deaths,

Human psyche is full of greed,

Be it male or female breed;

Let hearts sink while newly wed burns!

Let dowry become a human revulsion.

Fuss not much over terrorists deeds ,

Be it murder or abduction,

‘Terrorism is a human function’;

Let parents desist child spanking!

Let ‘Law’ do its own franking. 

Plans galore for Poor’s uplift,

Empty slogans on a paper plain –

‘Poverty is a national shame’;

Let rich intellectuals stop analyzing!

Let ‘poor’ join a ‘state-uprising’.

Talk not about political games,

Politics sows unethical seeds;

For, hypocrisy is our social bead;

Let ‘Society’ shed its cast image!

Let ‘reservation’ be ‘merits’ privilege.

India passes through crucial times!

J & K burns;   North East in flames!

‘UP’ is high on the chess-board game;

Behold! My nation still pulls on,

With seeds of discontent every-where sown.

But, electric cuts or power failures?

Water disputes and floods disasters?

Exciting themes for a ‘news –caster’;

Be it rain, thunder or storm!

A determined people must march on!
