Jawaharlal Nehru
The first prime minister of India
a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India
I call them traitor,
Those who install one-party rule,
Those who rob their country of freedom,
Freedom, freedom to choose.
Jawahar you were the true son of India,
You are our country's pride,
I can vouch for that,
For you stood for democracy so fine.
In the world were people,
Call Gandhi names,
I ask, what did you do, for your land,
If nothing, then at least, don't defame my land.
I live in a free country,
I breathe free air,
I wish, we all should protect it,
For freedom, needs, lot's of care
