Those saddening days
Of childhood
Of great depression
Doom and gloom
From sixties
To seventies
Aftermath of great wars
Sino Indian
And
Indo-Pak
In succession
Drought
Flood and pests
To add
Elders tell

A cousin
Whom others call
A comrade
Chides
The peril
Not only of war
Drought, flood
Or pests
But Tata and Birla
The rich
Amass
All wealth
There
In Russia
And China
Beautiful
Welfare of all
