Bharat remains an unequal land

On a rain drenched, Monday…

The crowds sat, expectant

 

Spectators at the spectacle…

Security on high alert

 

66th Republic day celebrations…

Two hour long parade

 

On thousands of meek heads…

Rain drenched escapade

 

Humble brollies over VIP pates…

Symbols, that set them apart

 

Public’s missing umbrellas,

The divider, disruptive, discordant

 

Commoners do not contract fever…

So much, for the Republic

 

Sitting drenched, cold and clammy…

Row upon row, a compliant public

 

Children, their parents, without umbrellas…

Mobiles, bottles and car keys

 

Yet liveried attendants held cover…

Over blessed heads of VIPs’

 

Beautiful India, proud and glorious…

Instep soldiers to a marching band

 

Divisive thoughts, rain fed reflections…

Bharat remains an unequal land
