Vote For India.... Your Today, Your Tomorrow!

Come Election Day, be sure to vote
Pause, think, be sure what your life should denote.

The fight today is not who is the better option
The more important thing is to end blind devotion.

If we go down this path there is no return
In hatred and distress our nation will burn.

Our forefathers who fought for this idea of a nation
In our stupidity, let’s not diminish their vision.

The choice we make will reflect on us forever
Voting for secularism and democracy should be our endeavor.

Our society today is at a dangerous crossroad
Another wrong vote, the very idea of India we erode.



The voice of all dissent is under attack
Every individual, institution being pulled back.

The nation held at ransom at the hands of a few
Sadhvis and Babas we will be answerable to.

The government has gone rouge trying to capture all organisations
EC, RBI, military, IT Office slowly loosing meaning and existence.

TV anchors have gone berserk and lost all civility
In the name of debate, propaganda and hostility.

Today political campaigning can single out a community
Threaten to deprive of jobs, development and humanity.

In just five years they have resorted to intimidate and scare
In another five, authoritarian rule we may have to bear.

They are trying to alter everything our constitution upholds
Through their baseless WhatsApp university and IT cell forwards.

Bigotry and intolerance, the language of the day
In future for our idiocity, our children will pay.

Today you think it is about Muslims and Ram-Mandir
Tomorrow it will be about the rights of your kids.



Any prejudice or discrimination you stand by now
Infringement on your way of life and freedom you allow.

Marginalisation and polarization is a double-edged sword
The long-term effects will be very untoward.

Nothing remains the way it began
Into something unwanted it surely will transform.

Choose wisely, who and what you support
Pause, think before you cast your vote!
