Democracy Is Dead

Democracy faces the greatest peril when corrupt and paranoid politicians with their delirious speech promisingly Preaches the false idea of Fraternity the country is awake and they sleep with their narrow nationalistic ideas Reform is a lost practice for they are indulged in series of unlawful acts. Who said ,' India is a poor country' ? they have foreign bank accounts pounds and dollars all hoarded up here ... The love for the Motherland now buried with Gandhi... he must be weeping over this poor state of deformity Wish I could revive those lost glories where India was a book of beautiful old stories.... Smriti Jha

Dearest Red, forgive me if I disagree with you. You have written not a dirge for the freedom we all have lost but an anthem that recognizes the work and hope that we must embrace if we are to exist in a world we truly desire. Well done!! Love, Will

Not only India, but the entire world seems to have been corrupted by the ultra rich and their greed for power. Vince

It needs a radical reformist like you to keep stoking the fire of democracy. Gandhi was and look what a change he brought not only to india but to the world. now we must carry the torch.

What more could I ask for today? It is a beautiful day the sun shining and birds singing. I am reading your poetry in which you share a little of yourself maybe without even realizing it you have written from your soul. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry with us Smriti. Love, Carol
