May My Country Awake

A mob gathered in a flash Chanting God's name They lynched one dead Suspected of eating beef A mob gathered in a flash Swinging in bigoted fervor They hung two by a tree. Accused of smuggling cows A mob gathered in a flash Swords flashing in hands They slashed one beyond shape Alleged of loving upper caste Violence ,mahyem goes on Common men silent onlookers castrated beyond redemption India, my country , awake !!!

I thought the Caste system was removed? I guess men do not wish to part with their illusions.

Caste system is very much here. Everyday we hear these sad things. True these ppl live in illusions and a very destructing one. Thanks

I don’t think it belittles your beautiful country and people. I do think that wherever evil rears it’s head it should not be ignored. As poets we can bring attention to our inconsistencies and be a voice for change. Blessings to you and your country.
