The Onslaught Of Globalisation Poem by Shuchika Sahay

We will survive the nation.
The onslaught of globalisation.

You remember the night?
When we began this.
With our hopes intact,
The night we made a pact,
To leave behind
All such things
That count now.
That night,
We burnt with ambition.
To be part of globalisation.

We will survive the nation.
The onslaught of globalisation.

I heard you did all right,
You got everything,
You dreamt of,
The night we lost our soul.
I know you married her,
I know it became a number.
At least you loved deep.
You will be fine, when its done.
No love never killed anyone!

We will survive the nation.
The onslaught of globalisation.

I wanted to let you know,
I did fine too.
I lived on the edge,
I worked hard, sold wares.
I didn’t get love either,
A few nights here & there.
Nowadays, I don’t feel,
Its all part of the deal.

We will survive the nation.
The onslaught of globalisation.

I wrote this for you.
I wanted to let you know,
I am breaking the pact.
I don’t want to choke,
I know you wont come,
But I want to go.
Back to the night,
To reclaim my soul.

We will survive the nation.
The onslaught of globalisation.
