As a country, we have been facing various challenges- Floods in various parts of the country, Foot over bridges of railway stations giving way and many falling down to their deaths, citizens falling into open ditches on public roads in the monsoons, deaths caused by communal riots, outbreak of pandemics like cholera, tuberculosis, AIDS and Corona. Proactive leaders are most essential to minimize, alleviate and prevent the sufferings of common citizens. This then is the theme of this poem.
In Indian movies, the police appear at the end
after the fights and hero has overpowered the villain
real life politicians in the country show up
shedding crocodile tears
long after a crisis- after many have lost lives
lost property, hope and will to live
What does it take to have
proactive people in responsible positions?
or is it merely a pipe dream
in third world countries
that masquerade as first world?
Denials and tall claims
take you no where
progress and way forward happens
only when you honestly admit
where you are in the first place
Yes, 'Acceptance ' is the first step to progress!
