Why No NRC and CAA- A Poem

Then one night, they brought in a steamy Citizens Amendment Act and State NRC That shook the roots of the republic nation Hitting the lion-heart of the Indian Constitution Poison fangs tore India in religious discrimination While all refugees are welcome as is India’s old kind tradition Making it a chartered law is slamming the hammer of perdition Those without ancestral papers would land in concentration camps where millions of Indians would die like flies and tramps We are still waiting for the CAA and NRC to be drawn back

Now, as the nation arose all over the land in protestation Innocent youth were shot and died and others smirked in jubilation While crowds sang songs, waved flags in peace cops droned down on them with weaponry of grease Young men were shot dead in the whirlpool of the battle Lives snuffed out regarded of less worth than cows and cattle Nation-wide protests broke when realized the plot behind their rationale Fringe groups caused riots to label the protesters as anti-national

In Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh women gathered on  -2 degree freezing nights Singing songs, crying Azadi a cry for their lives and children’s rights Kashmir silenced in the snowy cold, hope was sinking, walls were closing Broken sad harps strings crooned a shattered melody on the sorrow of souls For this law will soon make a sea of good citizens prisoners in chains  while a favored few will stand to rule and to material gain

But none will win if the nation is blown away by pens of deceit Then the Indian Constitution will melt in the flames demonic heat Nothing will come out for if India is divided, will be shattered and fall within her present narrowed dark walls and no nation will hear her call Trade will be over, millions will be silenced at the horn of death’s eerie call For without unity in diversity, our nation will lose its song and symphony Unity in diversity enables the nation to rise beyond iron skies And the strength of such a nation never dies so for such India cries Remember, if such is denied to a nation, that’s when a nation roars! The voice of seas of millions rise in the nation of over a hundred crores!
