India Shining

Tribals suffer while the politicians are busy mining,
Farmers migrate while agriculture is declining,
All this and the government is reclining,
Why bother when India is shining.

But don’t listen to my rhyming,
Cause it’s just a case of me whining,
After all theres a dark cloud to every silver lining,
And now it's time for India to be shining,

So watch the news while you're dining;
hear about a dead farmer’s wife pining,
and shake your head while sighing,
doesn’t she know India is shining.

And thank god for your perfect timing,
repeat it and please keep smiling,
After all it's all about aligning,
to the reality of India shining.
