Sixty Three Years

Sixty Three Years

Gaurav Parab

Sixty three years came and went

And so did everything we earned

Into the pockets of those around you

And we were asked to be patient

Sixty three is not patient enough

Or does she decide what’s true

For honest men like you

Something’s burning around

While you sit in your palace

A country boils with rage

But you are the honest sage

Just three questions

Forget the shade he wore

Or the law they wanted

Or those who surrounded them

And how they earned what they earned

Just three questions

Are you on a long extended holiday?

Paid by us

What are you scared of?

Or rather

Is there anything that does not scare you?

And last,

When can India get its money back?
