Whither Homeland...

Dr Ranbir Laishram *

Where there is no fair play,
We're seeking justice.
Where there is no rule of law,
We are seeking for Court order.
Where there is chaos in society,
We are searching for harmony.
Where there is dictatorship,
We are looking for democratic alliance.

Where truth has been buried,
The wrong has taken the centrestage.
Where lawlessness prevails far and wide,
Might has become the Law.
Where there is no playing field,
Cell phone had become play area.
Where there is no recreation,
Brown sugar has become the candy.

Where humanity has been replaced by tyranny and cruelty.
Where love, generosity have been replaced by hate, greed and vengeance.

Where the sensible minds hide in disgust and their hearts weep in silence.
Where good deeds are not encouraged and evil dominates goodness.

Where curse replaces blessings and
God has hidden in the corner.
Where the foreign products are loved more than home made goods.
Where the traditional practices have been ignored and kept aside.
Where organic foods are replaced by chemicals and poisons.
Let the seed of humility be sown in the minds of the able men.

Let the candle of love and hope be lighted in the heart and minds of the masses.
And let it lit every soul of our homeland
And wipe out the darkness....
Let our brother wake up and arise
To a brighter tomorrow.
Oh Lord ! give your children enough
Courage to fight and make changes.
