Crossroads India

 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
