Stand Up With Me
( this is my way to bring out what i see and what i object to ... the happenings in the state of Goa )
When strange lands begin to unfold
And pathways commence to get green and fold
All the thoughts we held up in hope
Now gone up in smoke
Please stand up with me!!
(to the real estate mafia.. not all builders)
When the naked tunes of glum hilarity fill up the air,
The cacophony of eight notes in the eardrums blare,
All the thoughts we held up in hope
Now gone up in smoke
Please stand up with me!!
( the many bhavans and academys)
When the scribbling on the wall,
Will be the last call
All the thoughts we held up in hope
Now gone up in smoke
Please stand up with me!!
(a portion of the fourth estate)
When the ageless form will break up the glass,
Seven years of bad luck will come in en mass
All the thoughts we held up in hope
Now gone up in smoke
Please stand up with me!!
( to some of the so called environmentalists)
When the sky will not itself clear
Our sights will be blinded to long way from here
All the thoughts we held up in hope
Now gone up in smoke
Please stand up with me!!
(To some of the politicians of goa)
When the worms crawl out of the torn can
Brain drains itself and ruptures itself like a self destruct plan
All the thoughts we held up in hope
Now gone up in smoke
Please stand up with me!!
( the traitors who under value Goa)
When the cold from the ice,
Will itself pay the price
All the thoughts we held up in hope
Now gone up in smoke
Please stand up with me!!
(the bars, shacks, hotels who overcharge to make a fast buck )
When the ore form the Goan mines,
Will persuade the lawmakers the rules to redefine
All the thoughts we held up in hope
Now gone up in smoke
Please stand up with me!!
( the suffering middle class & the people depending indirectly on mining )
All the thoughts we held up in hope
Now gone up in smoke
Please stand up with me!!
( People of Goa)
