i was reading a history of post-independent india by ramchandra guha,when i was seized by this unfortunate curiosity to find out about the state of the nation in the time when i was born.viz-1984.i read with gradually surmounting distress and discomfiture and despondency.
some thoughts-----

On the English throne roosted Maggie t
Our democracy orbited a dynasty
population and penury couldn’t stop me
From coming in
It was ’84 0r ‘83
In the former year
Gunned down in a mess lay indira g
grey streak dividing the black in her hair
whip in hand she had clutched her chair
for putting a blue star in the political firmament
she paid the price
her children pay indemnity
terrorists and separatists couldn’t stop me
from coming in
the exchange rate was a joke
in the country humble village folk
were tyrannized by goons
and upper caste dragoons
the upholders of the law
poured acid down the eyes of criminals
chaos and anarchy couldn’t stop me
from coming in
seed was robbed from farmers
kidnapped in hordes from their fields
the son of the iron queen
wouldn’t countenance our high yields
he vanished into thin air
the reluctant heir was proclaimed rex
servility and nepotism couldn’t stop me……..
but if such was the time
what were the newlyweds doing having sex
