HARD TRUTHS

                                

                               HARD TRUTHS

                            Dr K Prabhakar Rao

Muslims ruled India for hundreds of years

Yet the races did not merge in the land

Many sultans treated Hindus as mere rotten stuff

And they wanted all to play to their band

At times there were hopes and sun rays

While some Sultans  cared  and removed strife

Soon the  darkness spread all around

As a new guy destroyed all with a stroke of knife

At last the English took over the nation

And they looted the country with all  their might

Indians were razed to the ground as mere slaves

Although many felt freedom was their right

The anger rose soon into a  great bloody  war

Where some  fought with vigor and lost lives

Many saved their lives and played to the  tune

And  happily slept with their wives in beehives

At last the restless Englishmen left the dried-up land

And they however sucked the nation to the last drop

The nation was split into  two to please some guys

The hatred never ceased and continued without a stop

Streams of blood never  ceased to flow

While wars were fought  to settle scores

The hand  of friendship was a mere mirage

While in  hearts of all were many oozing sores

Mughals  vanished from the land long ago

While a new clan started its eternal rule

The guys have mastered the art of scams

While people vote like a mere dud mule

Tonnes of money is siphoned off by goons

While the rulers  can not reveal the thugs

All goes on behind   dark curtains

And many are in hand and gloves with a bear hug

The nation is  now in great peril and distress

As the leaders want  power come what may

Ethics and morals have vanished long ago

And these men for power  will  eat grass and hay
