SHYING AWAY FROM TRUTH

SHYING AWAY FROM TRUTH

Dr K Prabhakar Rao

Shiva lingams stare at us through the broken chests
And Lord Vishnu cries with sheared arms
Goddess our mother is shy of her broken breasts
While the nation turns other way from the past harms

Elephants sculptures are plenty with sheared tusks
While our revered bulls shed tears
Lord Narsimha in Hampi lay broken in a field
While Indians are scared to hold a sword and shield

Sindhu river flows unaware of our sins
While our clumsy leaders in Parliament make much din
Good old India is now in fragments
While patriots in India can only lament

Patriots in India went to gallows with cheers
While pseudo leaders drink vats of beer
History will never pardon the selfish
They would be finally beached like dead fish

Souls of patriots sent to gallows for judicial murder
Would surely curse those who caused its rupture
Truth will finally surface into light
While leaders in India are engaged in eternal fight

Ruins of our temples and heritage mock at us
While they lay battered and broken without a fuss
They laugh at nations pathetic inability
That failed to uphold national honor and is a great pity.
