Citizens of a nation pay taxes with the hope that
Government will take timely action to meet needs of
Their urgent problems then and there so that it can
facilitate fast development of society and nation!
Cooperation and coordination of all States in a nation
Are the main work of individual State governments and
In return the Central national government should help
Clear all pending matters of them for good relationship!
If all funds are utilized for the lump of backward States
That never make efforts of economic and social developments,
The progressing States paying huge taxes are affected to
The level of frustration due to poor allocation of funds!
Going by the trend of world trade and industries, a nation may
Take action to see such developments may benefit them too...;
But ground realities of States cannot be left out on the back
Burner for long leading to big chaos disrupting unity of nation!
Heavily populated nations' plights are mainly poverty and also,
Unemployment needing urgent attention to agrarian and fishing
Industries that are long neglected by urban trade and industries
Needing huge capital investments by Foreign Direct Investments!
If the national government is incapable of raising funds by FDI,
It should pay importance to exports of products from industries
Such as agro-industries and fishing industries capable of offering
Employment opportunities to a large mass of unemployed people..!
Instead of thinking and planning so, if the national government
Aims for only raising money by way of increased taxation, the
Sincerely tax paying people will be frustrated and revolt against
National government leading to retarded economic progress ever!

I would like to translate this poem
The poem is hard hitting in view of the strained centre-state relationships. It also looks into the real issues confronting them. Quite thought provoking.
Thank you for reading and commenting on the poem knowing the correct status of nation, my friend!
