But They Dont Like You Questioning

They are calling for

a collective fight against terrorism

but they don’t want you to know

hypocrisy in deciding what it is.

They are asking for

a wholehearted support for development

but they don’t like you questioning

for whom and on what cost.

They want you to believe

poverty is a state of mind

there are poor because they want to be

you will become rich if you work hard

They want you to love your nation

and die for it

without thinking whether so called nation loves you or not.

"there are poor because they want to be" - yes Lalit, that's what they want us to think isn't it? Nice poem... good writing. Thanks for sharing.
