He lost his parents <br />In communal riots <br />But he forgot it! <br /> <br />Acquired was his fertile tract <br />For a paltry amount <br />But he forgot it <br /> <br />He has to fast many a night <br />Unable to meet rising costs <br />But he forgot it <br /> <br />Shattered were hold-fasts <br />Of many a proletariat <br />But they all forgot <br /> <br />Nothing to surprise at all <br />It is easy in this democratic State <br />To keep people in a hypnotic state <br /> <br />Today they each got <br />A hundred rupee note <br />And a couple of <br />Arrack packets <br />Tomorrow is an auspicious date <br />They are going to cast <br />Their precious votes<br /><br />sathya narayana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-us-forget/
