V P Mahur Poet Lyric

Dirty Culture

Often we talk of our
rich culture
And ask the
generations of
future
To follow it with
heart and soul
And to be proud of
its trends all

But some things make
me confused
For these trends are
often abused
What are the things
to be proud of
The things to be
preached loud of

Should I follow the
culture that teaches
To oppose the other
religious preaches
To oppose the
languages of others
To oppose the
sentiments of all
brothers

Should I feel proud
of the culture
That treats the
women like a minor
That harasses her 
in a brutal way 
That is ready all
the time to slay

That highlights the
caste discrimination
That never cares for
the respect of
nation
That feels joy in
smashing the weak
And deceiving others
to reach the peak

 If all these are
good things of a
culture
They will not create
a human but a
vulture
To be uncultured I
would prefer
Before following
such a culture
