the truth - welcome to india

A Poem by anothermaleid

The 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.

Temples, churches, mosques, synagogues, 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.
