Just another... Sunday !

It doesn’t make a difference to me and you,
Why at all worry about some age old Bapu ?
I have my everyday life to live and survive,
I am glad, I have enough money, I am alive,

I have to go on a date today with some dame,
Does it matter, even if I dont't know her name,
I have to give a party to my friends in a while,
And , I don’t mind driving a five hundred mile,

You and I, really don’t have anything to do,
And of course, we just don’t have to be true,
I see her, the posters, all of Ms. Sushmita Sen,
Do I even know this person, Mr. Amartya Sen ?

The country, so big, yet so small deep within,
Hardly, I raise my voice for the right from chin,
Nehru, Ambedkar, Sashtri, exist only in papers,
All those struggles gone out, like liquid vapors,

Of course, it is not your fault, my young man,
You have much trouble with FB and your LAN,
I have to go and listen to the inspirational song,
On You Tube, Emails, FB, Twitter, all day long,

Forward them to a few, and forget tomorrow,
Of course, my heart is just too light and hollow,
Why will I ever cast my vote, such a long queue,
I’ve to make a movie reservation now, for two,

Abdul Kalam, was just another a Nth president,
Why even worry about the tortures underwent,
Many died, so many killed, for so many that lived,
For all that was restored for me, and just revived,

Mahatma recollected by me, only 3 times a year,
30th Jan, 2nd October and 15th August, I am clear,
On Sony Max, Star, Doordharshan and the others,
Who cares about our fellow sisters and brothers,

But, all that I care is that the chocolate they give,
And next day, I forget all and I have to go and live,
The Flag hoisted and brought down, by the evening,
The National Anthem! I’m shy, Can I hum, not sing ?

Enrique, Himesh, Jai Ho, Rehman, I can sing loud,
And I love all of Trey, Ne-Yo, Rangeela, and Daud,
What is my National Game ? My National Flower ?
Oh, come on, ask me about, Katrina Kaif’s ex-lover !

What is this pledge? I cannot even utter four lines,
Will tell you every dialogue from the movie, SIGNS,
India is a Sovereign, Socialist, Democratic, Republic,
Would've known if Big B had announced it to public !

I have to go lament about policies, and the politics,
I have to be out of my work place, right after six,
Over beer, talk, not be the one to bring the change,
Well, of course, for me it’s out of scope and range,

Oh ! I am so sorry, even you have to go now, right ?
Start discussing about latest movies and some fight ?
You will have lots to discuss, over one cup of coffee,
Your plans for lunch in the airport road, in The Sufi !

All those lives in sorrow gone, for your life today,
Live your life young man and women, all fun, play,
It’s neither my job nor my passion, to give you clue,
Be the judge, see if it matters between me and you !
