I Love My Country

I love my country,

We grow together.

All Indians are my brothers and sisters,

So, I wonder why the crime rate is so high?

Hate burns within the loose bonds between us,

And the love among us is a lie.

I love my country and I am proud,

Of its rich and varied heritage.

I’ll stand by, supporting the raging religious fights,

And lie by boasting of my country’s diverse stage.

I shall always strive to be worthy of it,

I shall struggle all day and night with corruption

And laws that exist simply because they should.

I strive to feed off other’s hard work and earn unfair promotions.

I shall give respect to my parents, teachers, and

All the elders and treat everyone with courtesy.

I will make sure they enjoy their last days, in an old age home

Waiting for their kids who won’t return in eternity.

To my country and my people, I pledge my devotion.

In their well being and prosperity alone lies my happiness.

My affection is laced in the way I look down on the poor,

And treat my country with disrespect and complete bitterness.

I love my country,

We fall together.
