Melting Pot
Dusty feet dragging with disease, malnutrition
Body frail,ribs prominent,sunken face
A handful of cooked rice, some curry
Is he an example of a nations disgrace?
Children flocking to school on cool spring day
Starched clean uniforms.. do they know the way ?
They read,they learn, gather knowledge,play
Nation's future citizens,ornaments,what do you say?
Affluent Party President gazes at future voters
Assures them of all goodies they can dream of
Slings mud at opponent parties- same country,culture
Did you attend that meeting? What made you scoff ?
Seated comfortably , peacefully before a deity
By no means elegant by no means pretty
She is praying for her children to flourish
Come out of your temple !! Carry out your wish !!

Thank you Dear Stardust for reading :).The "world" is a beeeeg place.Coalcutter is smoggy with stardust.It will clear soon and the moon must shine. The heartbeats are the same everywhere whether in Kolkata or in Wanderpolis.Have a nice evening and pleasant night.... Wish U all the best.
