India at first sight..

Atrocities committed day and night,
Prayers done to escape from a fight.
Brandishing bravery yet taking flight,
Is this India at first sight?
Promises unkept after leaving the mouth,
Venting anger for no reason to show clout.
Impressing others without being self-impressed,
Is this India at first sight?
Emotions going for a toss in the name of logic,
Joy being erased and replaced by tension within.
Not an hour a day for even one's own family,
Is this India at first sight?
Demanding more and giving less all through,
Staggering and swaying with hazy goals in sight.
A skeleton without a backbone to support its might,
Is this India at first sight?
