A DAY FOR INTROSPECTION

With deep sorrow, and profound apologies to Gurudev #Tagore:

—————————-
Where the mind is full of fear and the head is hung low
Where knowledge is mercilessly censored
Where the nation has been fragmented
By narrow jingoistic walls
Where words come out from doctored truths
Where frustration and hopelessness perpetuate mediocrity
Where irrationality and bigotry have forced reason out
Into the desert of ignorance and superstition
Where the mind is led astray by paid media
Into ever-narrowing thought and inaction
From that hell of suffocation, my friends, let our #country awake
