MOM's done it:A song for today's heroes-2




ISRO's done the task
"Is that so ?" someone asks
'Tis so' MOM nods
 My Mom or yours?
Oh, Oh.. Mars Orbiter Mission,
India's maiden attempt -
To reach Mars's orbit
Has succeeded and won.

Our scientists have thought -
up plans and now they ought
To sit back and see
What the results could be
Of the brains behind the act
Of sending 'Mangalyaan' to gather facts.

Three hundred days old
The baby of our scientists bold
Fruit of their plans and dreams:
Putting up with extremes.
India's finally making headlines
Is her poverty being sidelined?

No, no MOM's built with a feasible budget
So we can hardly object.
An anti - corruption drive
Is all India needs to thrive.

A song for today's heroes

"Loot, plunder, kill" the order is given
'The power is ours
No need to see
Who deserves what
We rule,
We decide from above
Which country deserves what'.
But forty three soldiers
With a conscience
Refuse to bow
To the gods of this world.


Not for us
The blood of the helpless
Not for us
Injustice to other humans
Not for us
The homes of the homeless
Forty three soldiers
With a conscience
Rise above tradition
And refuse to bow
To the gods of this world.


What price will it be
I do not know
Will they be branded, 'unpatriotic,
Disobedient, rebellious?'
No need for me to search the books
For past heroes and imagine.
I will sing your song
For as long as I can,
As long as I remember
Forty three heroes
Who refused to bow
To the gods of this world.
