AM I A SLUM ?

Awake INDIA Awake !

Am I a slum?
Or an underdog ?
Slummed as a country
Sludged as a people;
Taking only slum out
of our country
Am I a slum?

To the agony
sumptuously
summing up for the
number of awards
Swinging from
Golden-Globes to Oscars !
Slumping down the
National value
beneath the slum ?
Am I a slum ?

Jai ho-jai-ho-jai ho !!!
Brouhaha...Rehman
kudo! kudo ! Kudo !
Claimed to be the good number
the nation echos !
You have many more betters
Why only slumdog, Rehman ?
Am I a slum?

Globe trotting around
what made Mr.Boyle
to carry mud outta
INDIA ? O'God ! That too
So choosy about the mud...
Only, only and only the slum ?
Am I a slum?
