Voice

In the pandemonium of election, one voice is subdued but steady.
The voice of the citizen.
 The citizen who quietly promises, for everyday of life, not just for 5 years.
The promise solemn and straight...
I will not leave you India
Come on give me more bad roads, give me erratic power supply.
I will not leave you India.
Convert me into a criminal when I go to get a simple passport or a driving license made as a duty of any law abiding citizen.
I will not leave you India but will keep voting for a better you.
Push me to the side of the road to let some of your preferred red light people pass.
I will not leave you India.
Loot from my natural resources
I still love the Bhramaputra, I will still pray to the Ganga, be in awe of awesome Himalayas...
Mix poison in innocent government school children’s food.
I will cry for you, but not leave you.
Throw filth on my roads
But my love for my land will remain pure.
I will not leave you, but can I change you?
Can I...can you? Can we?
A mad Indian citizen called Neha Srivastava is seriously asking that question
