The Truth About Our Beautiful Nation

I have compiled a Glossary to support the interpretation of my work. Feel free to check it out and enjoy reading. :)
[Side note- This is not just for my nation but all nations as a whole.]

Thanks for this! +Plain Jane (✈👩)

The fighter planes which once
Soiled the blue canvas
Painted it with black
Are forgotten now
But the light blue sky still remains
Unforgotten
'Cause beauty is beheld
But the pain ricochets.

Where orange is the new black
And mankind goes insane over
Black market blues and catcalls
Where emotions have no outlet
And humanity is capsized by wrecking balls
The truth about our beautiful nation
Lies behind the white walls.






The upper part is reflection and
the lower part is reality.
Here females are either treated as goddesses
Or are victims of eve teasing.
Here rape verdicts are left in a limbo
And its victims are stated guilty.
We talk of a changing world
But there's a dearth of equality.
We preach feminism
But forget to enforce it.


Oh! How the night sky longs for stars
Now that they're obliterated
By grey clouds of pollution
And the Earth seeks asylum
From the violet rays of the Sun.
The allegedly holy waters
Carry ungodly chunks of litter
And the ecosystem
Just keeps getting better.

Thanks again! +Plain Jane (✈👩) 


The traffic is overwhelming
I'll drive rash but I'll drop you home
The green lights go down
But I won't slow down
This is the race of my life
And sure as hell, I'm not going to lose it
Dear fellow traveller.

Ministers, mercenaries, marauders, mafias
Not merely sources of alliteration
They are the bases of political contamination
A menace to the entire civilization
They speak in rhetoric
Act without remorse
Deliver white lies
And dissemble black truths.

Here economic measures go faulty
There is no point of satiety
And money has the power to transmute
Negative to affirmative.
The poor work, the rich earn
We feed ambrosia to the Deity
And the poor die of hunger.
This is our nation
Where sensitivity is determined
Through likes, comments and shares.


The dark is rising

Where orange is the new black
And mankind goes insane over
Black market blues and catcalls
Where emotions have no outlet
And humanity is capsized by wrecking balls
The truth about our beautiful nation
Lies behind the white walls.

We are living in an ivory tower
Blessed with milk and honey
We throw away the lemons offered by life
And drink lemonade from martini glasses
We sleep on beds of roses
And savour life like a piece of cake
Oblivious as we are.

The beacon calls, the fire alarm moans
The time has come
To confront the thorns
To bring to our nation a new morn
We have to revamp the wreck
We have to bring halcyon days back to the deck
And all we need is a reality check
And all we need is a reality check.
