Inked with the indelible pride
As I recollect, I am teary eyed
the tear that every Indian cried
gasping for hope, plenty died
for they trusted him, who lied
misery spread out far and wide
rampaged by his tyranny ride
****
Given the triumphant landslide
Hopes high, possibilities betide
'bad days seemed, few to bide'
watching up too close, cockeyed
they saw him, his true self pied
he planted hate, harvested divide
he plated blood, humanity on side
classes were wooed, margins elide
he went to backstab, all who allied
in the name of motherland, pried
tore apart pockets, basics denied
his own countrymen, he spied
laws imposed but justice denied
questions banned, sedition implied
raise an eyebrow, receive a chide
the jackal adorns the sheep Hyde
when the jungle burns, he'd hide
****
They hunted him, much they tried
the imposter who's now identified
with a lot of ruckus, a strong riptide
enough is enough, the nation sighed
the intentions gore, actions too snide
Humpty Dumpty fall, they cried
their collective will they applied
a mighty finger, public astride
Inked with the indelible pride.
