Entitlements

Rise rise in the early morning rise

Walk or run, do some exercise

For breakfast have idli and sambar made with spice

In the news, it is all about COVID, wonder what belies

Lockdown to freedom, what would become of our lives?

Migrants struggling to reach home, how hard he strives?

To the city he prefers his village, where lies his ties.

Atmanirbharta, what it is, it takes time to realize

It is all about swadesi and the opportunity you can seize.

Honchos with their resources, they will surely capitalize

Poor, at the pyramid bottom, where his entitlement lies.
