Jobs for All = Peace on Earth
But Democracy is a good thing !
The Girl is dead
India’s darling daughter is dead
But democracy is alive
And democracy is a good thing.
Every year
21,000 mothers , daughters , sisters get raped,
Countless others burnt to dowry-death;
Poor starve or, shelter less
Freeze on footpath;
On each rainless day
A hundred farmers commit suicide
But democracy is alive
And democracy is a good thing
Each year , 1,600,000 children die of malnutrition
Even as millions of tons of grain
Rot under sun and rain
Thousands die of tobacco smoke
But democracy is alive
And democracy is a good thing
Hundreds die in floods
Few thousands die crossing railway tracks
A million children die working for 18 hours
In dark / dungeon slave factories
Living on a slice of bread and glass of dirty water
But democracy is alive
And democracy is a good thing
Where else but in a democracy
Do people have a right
To vote / select their own Masters
Who , for the next five years, will
Silence them
Torture them
Maim them
Loot them
Rape them
Murder them
Cry, Beloved Motherland
And don’t stop crying
Till your tears sweep these tyrants into the Arabian Sea !
