A poem I wrote a month or two ago about “development” in India, which is almost always at the cost of the environment.
Why are you forcing benefits on us?
You never ask us, and you decide
To take our land away
You decide what is right for us,
Never giving us a choice.
You don’t mind coming to us for votes
Not now though, too inconvenient!
Is this all you care for us?
Is this all we’re worth?
We know about your Environment Impact Assessment
We know that it is foolproof
In doling out the best chunks of our nation to the most reckless
Elephant, Tiger, Peacock and Man don’t matter.
Is the economy all that matters to you?
This deluge of delusion is washing away
Our heritage, and you, are not a government
You are…
An MNC!
