The Girl is dead
India’s darling daughter is dead
But democracy is alive
And democracy is a good thing.
The womanhood is raped
Poor are starving to death
Farmers are committing suicide
But democracy is alive
And democracy is a good thing
Every day , 3279 children die of malnutrition
Even as millions of tons of grain
Rot under sun and rain
Thousands die of tobacco smoke
But democracy is alive
And democracy is a good thing
Hundreds die in floods
Few thousands die crossing railway tracks
A million children die working for 18 hours
In dark / dungeon slave factories
Living on a slice of bread and glass of dirty water
But democracy is alive
And democracy is a good thing
Where else but in a democracy
Do people have a right
To vote / select their own Masters
Who , for the next five years, will
Ø Silence them
Ø Torture them
Ø Maim them
Ø Loot them
Ø Rape them
Ø Murder them
Cry, Beloved Motherland
And don’t stop crying
Till your tears sweep these tyrants into the Arabian Sea !
With utmost contempt
hemen parekh
Jobs for All = Peace on Earth
