Wake Asia Wake - Part One - 2

Wake! and see the extent to which you’re still enslaved enslaved by your own kind who hanker after conditioning platitudes the clubby comfort of secretly oath-taking power cliques Wake! O! Asia! Wake! Remember! Remember Haidar Ali his son Tipu and Akbar remember Sivaji and Chandra Bose and Kattapomman and Asoka remember O! remember the one and only Mahatma Wake India! O! Wake! Wake! India! Wake! and see how your destitute generations are shunned aside in infested villages sans drains sans potable water sans hope see how they’re bound in mantric incantating castiron caste strictures Wake! O! India! Wake! No where else in the world are humans so in-humane-ly stratified what proof have the Brahmins to issue forth from Brahma’s head who proclaimed them the chosen elite on top of the Indian pile of castes Wake! O! India! Wake! Wake! and see how your northern brethren have cast off their spiritual shackles even if they had abjured the path of the just to yoke their bodies yet for each child a vaccine a soja-filled stomach to keep slavers away Wake! O! India! Wake! Wake! O! India! Wake before it’s too late! for your own kind are about to enslave you once all over again and the old master needs hardly despatch troops to proclaim his divine law Wake! India! Wake! Wake and watch how your elite ape and espouse the ways of the old master how for an air-ticket a stipend per diem they would do you in without compunction how for some lions memberships in select clubs they’d betray your own true kind Wake! O! Asia! Wake! Wake! O! Indonesia! Wake and see how the G.N.P. in Singapore far outweighs that of the former papal Portugal now how the four fiery Eastern Dragons no more parade in papier maché garb Wake! Indonesia! Wake!
