Please read this poem as a satire and our depressing civic values and habits..

we are Indians
we always do
the opposite
on a spiked fence
we sit
we dig our nose
we scratch our balls
most of the time
on the roads
we pee and shit
showing our posterior
to the world
bit by bit
do not throw garbage
says
the writing on the wall
in reply we spit
we will throw our garbage
in the neighbors yard
like he always did
now we are the
most educated
most cultivated
most cultured
but sometimes
we are stupid
our politics
of divide and rule
a system that our
consciousness befits
we are hindus
muslims christians dalits
but hardly hardly
we are Indians
we are too ashamed
to admit
we get angry
we fight amongst
each other
we have lost
our humorous wit
but in spite of all our
collective flaws
we love our mother India
here we are tightly knit
satyamave jayate
our nations
holy writ
iron in our soul
determination
fighting grit
