RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
India
They count their numbers in billions
They count their poor by the block
There are far too many to ride
The great majority must walk
The world’s most populous republic
The caste system keeps them in place
To keep up with their growing needs
They are constantly in a race
They have marketed cheap labor
They’ve developed a technology force
While others have fallen behind
India has stayed the course
Trapped between west and east
Kashmir and Pakistan to the west
To their north the Chinese beast
They must always pass the next test
They are giants in economy
Arts and culture are on the rise
And when it comes to population
India wins the prize
