This poem is a translation of my poem in Hindi titled "काश."
If only 'these traitors'
hadn't made so much noise over rape incidents
the good name of our nation
wouldn't have been sullied, internationally
If only the youngsters did not use Uber/Ola
and instead bought new cars for travel
the sales of auto sector wouldn't have
come down so badly
If only the common man
ate less 'onions' or not eaten it at all
like our dear Finance minister
so much of hue & cry
wouldn't have happened over 'trivial matters'
If only the average citizen
focused less on ordinary issues
like inflation,unemployment, Eco slowdown
farmer distress and the like
and stressed more on nation, nationality and national pride
Bharat's place would have been very high
in the comity of nations!
If only...
Very well said Sir. I can read between the lines and feel the sentiment embedded therein. Compliments.
