the truth - welcome to indiaA Poem by anothermaleidThe pups dying slowly is the truth, The big ones dying quick is the truth. The child looking for a meal in the dumpster is the truth, His father eating off the floor of a railway station platform is the truth. Aids and cancer is the truth. Patients’ treated as scum is the truth. Murder, rape, theft, is the truth. The existent judicial system is the truth. Mind altering substances is the truth Refusal of acceptance is the truth. Infliction of torture in the name of religion is the truth. Freedom of speech is the truth Bonded labour is the truth. Spending half your month’s wages on a pair of shoes is the truth Haggling with the poor vegetable vendor over the price of some onions is the truth. The Phantom, the Roadster, the 42 inch plasma screen, is the truth The ‘I don’t give a f**k’ attitude is the truth. The fortune 500 is the truth You are the truth.
