If Indians can be patriotic more, <br />Democracy will thrive in our country; <br />If love for Motherland is truly great, <br />More Indians will get awards o'gallantry. <br /> <br />If leaders elected are more honest, <br />Elections will be held infrequently; <br />If people nurture civic sense and toil, <br />The nation will progress tremendously, <br /> <br />If love of fellowmen afills our hearts, <br />Poverty, illiteracy can't exist; <br />If duty to the nation remains first, <br />India can make a meteoric rise. <br /> <br />If women's, children's freedom is ensured, <br />The nation can forge ahead in great leaps; <br />If elderly are taken care of well, <br />God's blessings will be soon upon this land! <br /> <br />If people care for health and avoid vice, <br />Crime-rates will fall upon this sacred soil; <br />If love of peace and co-existence stays, <br />Exemplary will India become soon. <br />Jai Hind! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 15-08-2012<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/indian-democracy-can-be-truly-great/
