Adarsh Poem by AKELLA S. RATNAM

Adarsh



Snow and soil submerged in soldiers' blood;

Earth rubble brick and concrete rising

Amid raptures of rotund officials.

Raising residences resplendent on false receipts;

Joy abounds as structures emerge welcoming residents.

In far-off lands freedom river runs roughly

Along the rims of native land guardians unaware

Their names pay rich dividends to lazy folks inland.

Earth sanctified with sacrifice of spilled blood

Citizens paying tributes to war heroes from

Exalted heights on the ocean front.

O! God! Give us our daily bread though

Relentless revenue offered opulence to opportunists

While the oppressed and orphan widows

Vye for space to live and be loved by their countrymen.
