Contradiction

They say God is one

Which one, is the fight all about.

They say God is within us

Yet they build grand temples copious

They say it is about tva but the twain doesn’t meet

Some eat meat for which they feel the heat

By birth, some are considered able and some others untouchable

They make Gods in stone yet throw stones at others

Make slokas for the gods but shout slogans against others

Worship the rivers as goddesses yet let rivers remain unfit for even the dogs

Name the women after the numerous goddesses

Yet women remain unsafe from the eyes lecherous

Our land has many billionaires

Yet a quarter of a billion goes hungry. 

Here the weather has many seasons

There are many reasons for treason.

Here many start-ups become a unicorn

But unemployment niggles like foot corn.

Many dreams about the past glory

While many try to meet ends in the present gory

Our leaders spin a tale of becoming a Vishwa Guru

None willing to acknowledge how poverty and hunger grew.

Many seek from the myriad god's benediction

In our great land full of contradiction.
