Unity?

Standing tall in metal and stone

Towering the globe in glory, I shine

Praised and hailed for sewing States

I look now into the Unity so called.

Towers I see, I see asphalt,

Trodden and mowed down greens

Giant rocks so Lilliput now

I look into the march towards growth.

I smile, I praise, I pray- thanks

To the change, to the transformations I see

But where have they, the un-sheltered gone?

I search for their placement and whine

Beneath the towers and the stone

By the fading rivers and the farms

It pains to see'em stripped to bone

Baking under the heat, from above and beneath

I see them awaiting a shower or alms.

Oh! for a Nation that marches fast

This sight so piercing, draws a blank-

Both staring at me, from the divided banks.

Seeking an answer, I stand tall

Flanked with questions and apathy

And shine of brighter Nation

I stand so heavy, I stand so tall.
