Nation and Anti-Nation

There is this nation and there is this anti-nation

In the nation you follow plethora of gods 

Recite prayers in Sanskrit, you call them puranas

One believes puranas are evidences and them it convinces 

Stories are so imaginative they believe this was the history.

Your birth determines your destiny, and privileges if you deserve any.

You pay obeisance to your leader, wheeler-dealer who promises economy of certain trillions of a dollar 

They get strengthened by defining their enemies

So much so that even loud speakers become their weapons

Or it could be hijab, or the language you speak or what you eat

They don’t need reason to call what you did as treason

The media you may wonder when it did become a long lost idea!

Your job is not to look for a job for the state gives you monthly ration.

If you did, didn’t find any, Gods have decided what is good in your situation.

In the anti-nation you may just believe in a single god.

You may eat beef and this may bring you grief

If you make a speech, the state some lessons, you it will teach.

You believe in diversity and speak languages many 

You party with the opposition, and you can’t be entitled to parity.

You may be put in jail, but can’t get a bail and you the state did nail.

Judges will dither, wonder whether it is treason, sometimes they get deterred.

But if you believe other side is greener, Cross the border, hold on to your life dearer.

In both these nations religion and God play with your mind and with tethers keep you in a bind.

Like an elephant you are trained and in your mind it is all ingrained.
