What a Restoration!

There laid my Pride in tatters,
Each day increased the shame.
What had they done & Who would pay?
It brought no glory & Where was the fame?

The world was laughing and I was cringing,
No matter how much i tried to ignore,
The escapades of those in power,
Those issues and controversies galore.

Trying to hide, I became an ostrich,
It will get better, if I don't see.
Let me not watch nor read,
I just wanted to scream - It is not ME.

Everybody had a view to express,
Sitting in our offices, we became experts.
We all did our bit, over cups of coffee,
and behaved like typical jerks.

Coz behind the scene, was the real action,
Where ignoring all this, men and women,
Were working hard to prove their nation,
And their positivity became an omen.

While I was busy gossiping and cribbing around,
The labourers and volunteers were working about.
The artists, performers, musicians and players,
Everybody was putting their best efforts.

They showed the World , What India is about,
Watching the spectacle made every Indian proud.
Their efforts, rejoiced the nation,
God Bless India , What a Restoration!

Wah India, Wah!
