Big Question Poem by Sachidananda Panda

One life is lost…!
No dispute, to admit the injustice
And the nefarious plot
But! It can't be an excuse
To hold the entire country into ransom,
This is too much!
Let's behave as sane citizen
Not as stooges, to some political game
Let's together breathe again!

Let's inhale! Fresh air of mutual trust
Friendship and brotherhood
Be loving and just
For national pride let's take a vow
To mitigate the slurs for ever from now
To honour the stripe, see stars brighten
Justice for all, and assure every Gen'
Loopholes if any, let's fasten and mend

Let's together ask a big question
Should we succeed or should we fail?
As a nation on a greater plane
Can't we match our eyes, wipe hatred n' greed
Mustn't we breathe again for a greater dream?
Let there be a surge of a bigger claim
With a smile on lips and arms on arms
Let's make the Nation great again.
