Public, Oh, Public! Jubilant Republic Day! (Part-2) Poem by Harindhar Reddy

See! Portions of youth are dependent
And Human Rights are crushed and bent
When patriotism lived on papers and not in heart
Corruption and hypocrisy did never depart;
Human trafficking and bomb blasting are common
And political exaggeration is also a demon.

They are raped for joy and burnt for dowry,
They are beheaded for love and in worry
Acid, the rarest gift to them by merciless men,
They are controlled and suppressed women –

Then, by so called cultured man, a buffoon and ever,
In the name of father, brother and lover,
Husband and son and everyone tortured her;
Liberty! Oh Liberty! Women are at atrocity.

While millions of darlings of Indian nation,
Literally starving and dying and exploitation
Scores of crofters are committing suicide and a pity,
Their death toll is increasing and no security;
Purity! Sorry no purity, what a rural impurity
With hollow ability, and no stability;
Poverty! Oh Poverty! You are our prosperity.

Community, religion, party, caste what all these and why?
Terrorism, antisocial elements, Naxalism and division die;
Republic, constitution, democracy, freedom – and I,
Let dreams, hopes, wishes and aspirations of people fly –

Politician! Oh, Politician! Don’t be a psycho on deputation
Hearty appeal to work for the promotion of poor and nation
With destination! You work for the people’s promotion
Happy! Happy! Republic Day,
Wish you a Happy Republic Day,
Public! Oh Indian public! Merry Republic Day!

(Attention to all the readers! The poem is a patriotic one. The names mention in second stanza are freedom fighters fought for the Independence of India. The word ‘lal’ is a Hindi word for color red, whereas, ‘vademataram’ (a Bengali word) became slogan for the freedom.)
