Red Fiery Poet Narrative

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....

William Kershaw December 20, 2011 at 3:20 AM 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

James Foulk July 9, 2011 at 10:25 AM I so agree with you, not only with what you said about India, but our own country here, it is not what it use to be. thank you for commenting on Rain Finally Came.

Sidney Hall Mad Poet July 7, 2011 at 1:42 PM 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.
