dreams of a better india


If you can say a little, 

feel a little.. 

believe me, 

you are alive


What is left, 

is a tinch of hope..

words are bound by the throat,

feelings stay like a wound 

done by a pointed sword


Yet we continue to 

exist,

watching the clouds upwards

and with anguish wanting them

to disappear


‘No’ one deserved to be like this..

or do I mean, the ‘privileged ones’?

‘coz the poor ‘felt’ this since forever,

nothing new for ‘em to bear

the brunt of a corrupt system


They say spread positivity

as if reality was a superficial thing..

they say you do propaganda

when what you ask is ‘life’ and 

good ‘air-to-breathe’!


Artists do express,

students do analyse,

the ‘youth’ of the nation

wants to secretly live a better life..

the one it studies in the textbooks

where chosen leaders pave the way

for better society, 

and be the voice of the voiceless..

they are my only hope of a better India
