Cleanse the nation’s democracy; <br />Cleanse the nation’s bureaucracy; <br />Cleanse the nation’s polity; <br />Cleanse the nation’s authority. <br /> <br />Cleanse the nation’s systems’ machinery; <br />Cleanse the nation’s judiciary; <br />Cleanse the nation’s property; <br />Cleanse the nation’s ill-gotten money. <br /> <br />Let people’s power permeate the Parliament; <br />Let there be accountability of all citizens; <br />Let the poor and down-trodden be never ignored; <br />Let India become rejuvenated. <br /> <br />Bring back the wealth kept outside the land; <br />Enact laws for the welfare of the Motherland; <br />Act with responsibility and amity with all; <br />Console the aggrieved, comfort the dying. <br /> <br />Put the mighty nation on the road to progress; <br />This is no place for vices and evils of all kind; <br />Install a sense of security for all; <br />Infuse morality and patriotism. <br /> <br />Those voted to power must be clean; <br />Those in authority should not be mean; <br />Those in high office should not demean; <br />The future should belong to the youth and the teen. <br /> <br />Enough is enough, rethink on everything; <br />Corruption is the main issue to be curbed; <br />The law-makers should not be the worst law-breakers; <br />The law should serve the purpose it is meant for. <br /> <br />Let’s create a new India where peace prevails; <br />Let’s make our country prosperous; <br />Let’s work with zeal and honesty; <br />Let hearts be filled with sensibility and sensitivity. <br /> <br />The nation with a billion must forge ahead; <br />The nation should be truly independent; <br />The nation must regain its former glory; <br />The nation must be freed from corruption. <br /> <br />Thanks to Anna Hazare’s yeoman service and mighty efforts! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 20-08-11<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/towards-a-corruption-free-india/
