Independence Day

Do waqt ki roti nahi, toh ek baar hi sahi
Marne ka freedom zaroor hai, azaadi hai yahi
Kuch log kar aate hain duniya bhar ke chakkar
Kuchhon ne zindagi guzaar di seh kar thanedaar ki akad
Gulami nahi hai British ki aaj, toh kya
Neta hai hamare maalik, daur hai yeh naya
Pet jab churmurata hai, toh bech aate hain maa beti
Aatma toh chhodo, ek healthy kidney aadhe saal ka anaaj khareed deti
Padhe-likhe hain hum aur aap, humko kyaa padta farak
Kharab sadkon par jab accident hoga, tab chamaata padega kadak
Hogi hospital ki urgent zaroorat humko tab
Chalega pata sarkar ne sanction to ki, lekin Neta or bureaucrats khaa gaye paisa sab
Nahin kahengen hum aaj ki Hindustan azaad hai
Jab takk ispar gundagardi, garibi aur indifference kaa raaj hai

Someone sent this sms on the samelines...

What is India ?
A nation:
-where pizza reaches home faster than ambulance and police;
-where you get car loan @ 5% but education loan @ 12%;
-where rice is Rs.40 but sim card is free;
-where people worship Durga but kill their girl child;
-where olympic gold shooter gets 3 crores but another shooter dies fighting with terrorists gets 1 lakh...
Really, Incredible India.

Did u write this with an agenda in mind?

I like your simple poems more - maybe I don't have patience for intellectual stuff anymore ;)

Thanks.
@Yogesh - No agenda, just general anger at such things around being possible.
