Today - here we stand,
Our hands bowed in shame-
What else can we do?
We have no one else to blame!
For it is we who have elected,
These inept leaders to fame;
Can they even not,
Host a simple game-
Without corruption,
For sake of the nation's good name?
A bridge came crashing,
& only shreds of our reputation remain.
Unkempt our hospitality
& incomplete our stadium -
None ready to step up
To resolve this delirium.
For a people who pride,
Their guests above everyone,
We have aptly demonstrated
When it comes to corruption-
We can sell out
Even our nation!
This is the darkest blot
& generations to come have been maimed,
India - the land of so many virtues
Sadly, couldn't present itself properly
When the right time came!
