A SORRY STATE

Dr K Prabhakar Rao

There was a time when others looked at India
A land of peace sculpture and wisdom
With in a span of thousand years that passed
People have lost their intellectual freedom

Ancient Vedas and scriptures that inspired us
Now are thrown into a basket of dust
Crazy guys now running after western culture
Are only busy in meeting their ever increasing lust

Good old leaders have vanished into history pages
While thugs and criminals are making to the top
India that was once hailed as land of sages
Now has slipped down the slops without a stop

Shame on pour rulers who have brought us to this pass
Where fathers and mothers are busy elevating their sons and kin
Foolish Indians are carried away by slogans and posters
Then vote for the crooks and commit greatest sin

Precious wealth has been looted in many scams
Culprits roam free without fear and remorse
Those who matter failed to bring culprits to book
While the trials if scams remain the biggest farce

Indian parliament that makes the laws
Would boast of Ethics now found in stories and folklore
The gathering would soon have only kin of past leaders
Theese leaders gatherings are nothing but crooks galore
