LET THE NATION RISE

Dr K Prabhakar Rao

Looking at the bye gone sixty years
While India was ruled by our own men
The nation has been brought down by them into gutters
When they have made the country as their mischief den

While leaders wash dirty linen in public
Glorious years have been left into wild
National progress is as cold as an iceberg
And the country is thrown off by the political guild

Poor Gandhi and others who gave us freedom
Must be surely cursing in despair
Criminals and thugs contest the elections
While constitution is amended and is beyond repair

Dynastic rules are the order of the day
As kin only succeed the leaders
Morals are in the books for one’s dismay
While the rulers are raising corruption breeders

Political parties are found in large numbers
Where al are busy for grabbing the power
No party is free from criminals and gangsters
