Nonsensical Excuse

Amidst the chaos and confusion
A world of contradictions, an illusion
Where excuses are nonsensical and vague
And doubts linger like a shadowy plague

Leaders shout and rebels revolt
Their slogans are heard, yet nothing\'s solved
For country or nation, what do we need?
As greed takes over and justice recedes

In the land of democracy, the curse is clear
Where mixed economy is ruled by fear
Disproportionate wealth, a common sight
As slogans of the Adanis/Ambanis drown out the right

But amidst the chaos, there\'s a silent voice
A truth that\'s buried, yet it has a choice
In a public cremation ground, two bodies lie (brought to be burnt on pyre)
One with Sandalwood\'s grandeur, another with bamboo\'s sigh!

Economic growth or development, what do we choose?
As we light the pyre and bid adieu
To a world of contradictions and confusion
And embrace a new reality, with a clearer vision.
