Oh Mother India!

Why are you like this?

Heaven for the able,

Hell for the feeble.

Will you ever stop the mindless rivalry with Pakistan?

Why do you tell your daughters not to go out rather than telling your sons to behave?

Why are you building a 450 million dollar statue while people are dying without food?

Oh! The hypocrisy.

Talking about the evils of the west,

while emigrating to the states every chance we get.

Banning pornography,

government officers enjoy it during assembly.

We are the proud creators of the sensual Kamasutra,

then why do we do we act like giggling schoolchildren everytime we hear the ’s word’.

Sex! Yes, I said it out aloud!

What are you going to do?

Arrest me? Like you did to the 2 girls for liking a post on Facebook?

Worshipping cows

and bashing humans.

You call yourself secular

but each official form asks- Hindu? Muslim? Sikh? Christian?

Pornstars like Leone get all the stardom and fame,

while rape victims and prostitutes are spat upon.

You keep feeding your stone idols

while children starve outside the temple.

Same sex marriage is illegal

Marital rape is not.

Cricket is a religion

while world cup winners of our national sport can’t get a rickshaw home.

Why does it take decades to get justice?

Why was a man suspended from his job for 29 years for an offence of stealing a single dollar, which he did not commit?

Why India Why?

A baby’s future is determined on two questions-

Boy or Girl?

Engineer or Doctor?

Life is not a fricking factory!

The brown country wants to be ‘fair and lovely’.

Streets are open toilets and spitting yards.

What you wear determines your caste and how you are treated.

Grades and marks are given more importance than actual learning.

Tell me when will that A+ be relevant in real life?

Why is a stereotypical lewd comedy film on top of the charts

while films with any moral message simply ignored?

Why did you spend less on a mission to mars

than a movie about that mission?

Remember, it has been 70 years since you became free

yet the caste system is still present.

India, You must answer this time.

India, You are not getting away this time.

India, do you know what the worst part is?

Despite all this,

We Indians still say everyday

Mera Bharat Mahan!

Our government is greedy and corrupt. Our media likes to send people into a frenzy by keeping us scared enough of all of the terrorism going on around us that we stand behind any policies set forth to protect us, all the while making us feel safe enough to be thankful to live the way we do. I feel our government has created a nation wide Stockholm syndrome. We know enough to be fearful but are so thankful about the little handouts we are given that we would gladly take bullets to protect the government. While lost in our state of confusion, the government takes and does as it pleases with legalese to fill in the gaps and confuse the masses. They are always giving us a seemingly "good" reason for their actions and to justify their behavior, leaving the REAL reason hidden in dark, torture chambers.

Side Note: I love my country dearly but need to vent.

they call america great. home sweet home. they don’t know. they don’t know the real her. a corrupt and greedy country run by even worse officials is what she is. a country founded on the basic freedoms of people, yet they ban the right to speak your mind. a paradox. a rotten apple. a facade of true beauty envelopes the evil within, adulterating the minds of new generations.

they call america great. a land of 'opportunity'. were the native americans given 'opportunities'? were the slaves given 'opportunities? hell, even today are we given 'opportunities'? education is an intelligent way to make money. jobs are a better way to increase the power of the government. what 'opportunities' have we been given that were meant for the people and only the people? the correct answer is none. exactly none.

they call america great. the land that i love. what is that? a land of teenage pregnancies, drug lords, gang wars, and obesity, or a land of peace, greenful country. the former describes america, the latter describes a world deviod of mundanes. they call america great. beautiful, even. they don’t know her. the real her. and nobody ever will. 

They say America is all for the people. Her land awaiting our stone cold feet. 

They say America is for the people. Then why do we have citizens screaming at officials?

They say America is for the people. Then why can't everyone afford an education?

They say America is for the people. Then why is it so fucking hard to get a job, if you couldn't afford college?

They say America is for the people. Then why are we fighting unnecessary wars?

They say America is for the people. Then why do ordinary citizens get shot everyday?

They say America is for the people. They say America is the land of the free. But what people say cannot be trusted, for it is just talk. Talk of hope to help us up, only to send us farther down the pit then last time. They say America is for the people.

Is it really?
