India Rises

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY


India Rises

 

The seductive charm of Modi

has lost its hypnotic hold

The vote in Karnataka was

decisive, clear and bold

The voice of the Indian nation

has spoken loud and plain

Rejecting Hindu nationalism

Declaring all of it insane

 

Now India reclaims its place

among proud republican states

No longer must she hide her face

A brighter future now awaits

All nations as all people

at times must lose their way

To understand their destinies

To reclaim a better day

 

Soon Modi takes his leave

and all of India will rise

His legacy a broken dream

of hatred and of lies
