Bharat Matha or Mother
India
Isn't it a name to symbolize tolerance?
We all are busy looking
up to grow
Are we scared to see the
misery around?
Sky is set as the target
to scale
Haven’t we failed to run
the race here?
We all know, yet try to
highlight India
But can we ever call
India, a home to live?
Body, mind and soul are
murdered
Do we win when we
destroy someone?
We prevent the
extinction of animals and birds
Where are we when a
human being dies?
We charge anyone who
kills a deer or tiger
How do all escape after
killing a human?
We blame it on the
population often
When we are more, aren't we more powerful?
Poverty is the second
excuse assumed
Isn't it lack of
civilization, the truth?
We have touched all
continents on Earth
Have we succeeded in
touching another life?
Boarding schools and old
age homes multiply
How will we create a
home without its members?
We have tried with all
rulers' rule
Could anyone make India
better than before?
We project our country
as a super power
Can we ignore the dirt
that we walk on?
India is growing and
glowing before the world
Why Indians never grow
out of their boxes?
We have so many
religions and faiths
How then we fail to love
each other?
India has given its
women, power to rule
Then why can't women
walk on India's streets?
India's tradition,
culture and customs
Aren't they really fairy
tales told?
When we pretend that we
are flying high
Do we even know where we
stand?
We live in horror regardless
of our class
Aren't we wearing a mask
to look brave?
India’s pride is India’s
power
Where in India can we find
them both?
It may be better than
some worse countries
Is comparison a resort to
absolve our sins?
We'll surely leave this
place now or later
But what have we left
for our children to live?
We enjoy what our
forefathers fought for
Will our kids inherit a
better country?
What are we doing in
Moon and Mars
When nothing is done on
planet Earth?
When there's nothing
here to eat and drink
Why worry if there's
water in space?
If we can do something,
let us wait for none
Don't we know to do what
is just and right?
We may not succeed in
making a better India
But who can stop us
being better Indians?
