There Shall Come A Day

a poem by Annapurna Krishjeev

There shall come a day for India,
When a techno sits with a mason,
And a thinker talks with a layman,
And a Landlord walks with a Tiller,
To make lives in India better.

There shall come a day for India,
When Gandhi will not only be remembered,
But also be seen and honoured,
Not in the form of his Statues or Photos
But in the form of his ideals and mottos
Fostering in the leaders of the nation
And not of political party or faction

There shall come a day for India,
When people stand in queue to vote
With the wisdom of duty to devote
And the results will not worry them
For all contestants will be noble wo(men)

There shall come a day for India,
When people will go to sleep
With a smile and not a weep
For there will be many to care
And nurture the lives of their

There shall come a day for India,
When corruption will be known,
As a forgotten practice, now thrown
And future generations will question
If it ever existed in the Indian version

There shall come a day for India,
When judges and lawyers sit in vain
And the policemen with no complain
As there will be peace and prosperity
For India will be the land of eternity

There shall come a day for India,
When places of worship and prayer hall
Will be liberated and opened to all
And the words caste and religion will
Scarcely appear in the forms to fill.

There shall come a day for India,
When all the children go to school
With brilliant ideas and dreams to pool
When all their despair thwarts
As success reigns in their hearts.
