RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Crossroads India
India is at a crossroad
Torn between mass poverty and
economic opportunity
Institutionalized discrimination
Undermining rights of labor
Violations of human rights
Tempting shameful alliances
Its very democracy uncertain
India faces a distinct choice
Follow the path of the western world
Economic freedom and democracy
Equal rights for all
A path to fair trade policy
A vibrant free press
Or follow the road of China
Labor exploitation
Oppression of minorities
Egregious human rights
Suppression of dissent
The world’s largest democracy
Must turn its back on evil ways
And march proudly into a future
Of liberty and enlightenment
