I love my country: India, but

I love my country: India , but

I hate many of its rulers, as

they speak for the poor and

act for tycoons bellicose, and-

Diversity sighs in armed Unity;

The selfish corrupted in unity

March ahead on graves crafty.

I love my country: India , but

August fifteenth : with freedom,

opened all devilish forces

out of Hell to fell all virtues.

Grim faced Buddha smiles

Like a nuclear Phantom ,his

tears drip on tomb of Peace.

No white dove sits on dome

It bleeds in the lap of Buddha.

If birth is the cause of gloom.

who stops one from bloom?

Dearth of berth clamour for

Death of birth at the womb.

I love my country: India , but

Souls are free on lovely Earth

Lay bodies strain to survive.

A nominal word equanimity

Gushes in landslide infirmity.

Service becomes self –service,

In black ink sleeps Socialism.

Fear Neurosis like King Kamsa

Keeps Liberty behind the bars.

Healthy, wealthy Bharat Matha

Groans in labour room for Santi.

Note: 1). August fifteenth= 15 August 1947 when India became free from Briton. 2).Buddha=Gutham Buddha(Prince Sidhardha) who established Buddhism.3).Kamsa= The mythological character , uncle of Lord Krishna who chained even his sister Devaki out of the fear psychosis. 4),Bharat Matha= Indians consider Bharat/India as their Mother(Matha)-so it is Mother land not Fatherland for them .Santi/Shanti=a Sanskrit word used in Vedas and Upanishads of India which means Peace or Islam.
