India Today? Poem by Dr John Celes

All’s not well with a nation where…

Life is insecure
Creed divides
Caste persists
Community lingers
Inequality predominates
Secularism is a farce
Merit is ignored
Love of neighbour is non-existent
Forgiveness is long forgot
Selfishness rules most hearts
Crimes are on the rise
Prices skyrocket
Corruption is rampant
Bureaucracy is callous
States do not share resources
Abortions are rife
Value of freedom is a thing of the past
Unity is an untruth
Diversity has added umptine problems
Population has become uncontrollable
Leaders are liars
Politicians are greedy for money
Justice is delayed
Poverty is ever-increasing
Illiteracy is the truth
Diseases are insurmountable
Chaos prevails in most fronts
