Decadence

a poem by Amudhavani G

It was midnight with luminescence
Women in a state of crapulence
Luxurious ecstasy in the precedence
In my India, a dreadful decadence.

Children and youth blaming adolescence
Don’t even know what is obedience.
Humility gone; Entered pride of omniscience
In my India, a dreadful decadence.

Everywhere, a feeling of negligence;
Future has no chance for reminiscence
In the land of Mahatma’s inheritance,
In my India, a dreadful decadence.

I woke up, my mind in turbulence
Oh! It was a dream, not an incidence
In the land of tolerance and cognizance,
In my India, forever is renaissance.
