Dream India

This poem i wrote for my dearest motherland. This is my dream about how my nation should be.......

What dreams  were seen

By freedom fighters for our nation?

All of us know although

They are nowhere mentioned.

Some of them were of a corruption-free

And an Independent nation,

But do you think with present India

They have any relation?

Britishers have definitely gone,

But because of corrupt politicians

We are still to mourn.

Why only the government is put to blame?

We are also having our share in it the same.

Have not we somewhere

 Forgotten our duty as citizens?

To be loyal and never give any bribe

Or take any bribe.

Come on, let us take an oath

To follow our duty as a citizen,

Then only we can make

Dream India as our nation.................

Author's Note

This is my dream , a 15-yr-old girl's dream , about how my country should be. I am sure that if we all follow our every duty as citizen as described in the poem above the definitely dream India can become each one's nation.

Good things are appreciated lifetime! :D

I love your poem & it's such a good idea, I feel like writing a similar poem, as a song of hope for the USA. We are wracked by corruption ever since Trump came into office. I believe there is a movement around the world that's bringing in politicians that really don't care about "the people" even tho they say they do. You are exactly right about the antidote -- we citizens must participate! Democracy is hard work! We must be part of the solution. I love that you're so aware at such a young age. It gives me hope for the future, as many young people here are also getting involved (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[horizon]

Great work...I appreciate your effort..but the main problem of our country is that corruption spreads like viral..which seems to be dangerous...in my context our whole committee of politicians should be the youth..that would bring change for sure...mera BHARAT mahan...:):)

[Riddhi]

Yes , i also agree with you that the youth of our country should be politicians...
Thanks for reviewing.....
