Sickular Nation
Sickular Nation
Very unfair system we found ourselves in
National integration is passe
Holi deewali for Hindus
Eid and Sab- e-baraat for Muslims
X'mas and Easter for christians
Guru Parab and Baishakhi for Sikhs
And we thought ours is an inclusive state
Alas! Last 5 years blew away the bonhomie of thousand years
Now, each is left on his own to lick his wounds
Held captive in narratives of you, me,we, us and they
Authors of constitution must be turning restless in graves
Seeing the venerated secular of yore becoming sickular in new India
This poem is about:
My country
