‘India is shining’, they said. <br />I scaled her length and breadth <br />To witness the show, ‘yes’, <br />The bare and cracked fields <br />Are glaring like the sun! <br /> <br />‘Software is booming’, they said <br />‘Yes’, the soft wears of young women <br />Are booming up and up <br />Leaving them bare legged! <br /> <br />‘Economy is skyrocketing’, they said. <br />‘Yes’, the economy of a few, <br />Rolling on creaking chairs <br />In the city sky-scrappers are! <br /> <br />‘Millioners are increasing’, they said. <br />‘Yes’, throwing millions <br />To the new list of beggars! <br /> <br />‘We are becoming no.1’, they said <br />‘Yes’, those who said these really are! <br />‘India is shining’, I say! <br /> <br /> J T Jayasingh <br /> jtjayasingh@gmail.com <br /> Mob: 9995651972<br /><br />J thampi Jayasingh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/india-is-shining/
