On Arthakranti

Globalisation is here to stay,
MNCs and FIIs with deep pockets dominate the market play.
All business, yes everyone, big or small,
Must compete to stay afloat in the global mall.

No more the option to level the field with government subsidies,
(Thank god) It is the end of (second-rate) domestic monopolies.
For you and me – no more the safety of high interest bank deposits,
No social security, rapidly vanishing retirement benefits.

And yet, there is an ever expanding tax net,
Income, sales, excise, direct and indirect.
The tragedy is that government coffers are forever empty,
Instead there is ever spreading cancer of black money.

How can then the common man feel good at all?
You and I, search for a miracle, a breakthrough in this breakdown
Is there a glimmer of hope in the weary eye?
Is there a new dawn rising in the dark sky?

Is the future really going to be bright?
Much has been talked and tried,
There have been many a broken promises, election-time and otherwise,
But wait --- A design for an economic miracle is in sight

The miracle cure for the ailing world is here

From rags to riches --India shall have her rightful place in the Global village.
You and I can live an honest, principled, prosperous and peaceful life.
There will be a new revolution from a Global market
to a home called Earth
– a true Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam
