Since centuries, India has lived in villages
Simplicity and decorum has been managed
By and large people have remained peaceful
Simple and straight with life so purposeful
With advent of science age and avenues
The need of villages too needed careful view
The mad rush towards cities was proving fatal
The state governments were ignorant and performed dismal
Small states cater the needs of people to great extent
The economy of village mushrooms at present
People still need more and aspire for good living
Many experts have given thought and started believing
India shall maintain cultural heritage
Even though other cultures have effectively managed
To penetrate in remote areas with undesired effects
The leadership at highest level needs positive steps to act
Today new state of Telangana* has come into existence
People are rejoicing in its new format and presence
The democracy may strengthen its roots with full commitment
Let us help all those people who need real improvement
* Telanganaa.. new state emerged on 2/6/2014

I liked it but couldn't exactly relate Kevin Cirnitski3 minutes ago It had a pleasant rhyme scheme and I like how it related to a culture in a sympathetic manner but it was culture specific so I didn't have much incentive to read it myself as I am not of that culture.
Small states emerge Since centuries, India has lived in villages Simplicity and decorum has been managed

The first line is beautiful! But I wonder if this is true: 'The economy of the village mushrooms at present' Warm regards,
