In the shadows' depths, where darkness prevails, The story unfolds, like a tale that hails, A human guise, a crafty disguise, Victories in elections, reached new highs.
But now winds of change are blowing anew, News of defeat, a reality to view, Fear grips him tight, eyes open wide, Trembling and uncertain, nowhere to hide.
Fear's grip over him, sanity slips, Lost in confusion, he stumbles and trips, In wielding his power, rights he'd erase, As snatching away bucks, sweeping embrace.
Recall the days when money did flow, Yet freedom's dependency continued to grow, Dependent on him for every dime, A silent thread weaving through time.
He wields his power, a grasp so strong, A prisoner's fate, a captive's long song, Confined in homes, yearning for a release, For freedom and light, a desperate peace.
Oxygen's memory, don't let it fade, As power usurps, foundations degrade, Electricity dwindles, the web's light dims, Like shadows encircling Manipur's whims.
What remains but allegiance pledged, To one person's rule, from edge to edge, A nation united in one election's chime, A tightening grip, freedom confined.
The voice of the Constitution, faint and low, Lost in the haze of power's cruel flow, Justice's facade, a stone-cold charade, The Constitution's message, left unportrayed.
Laborers walking, footprints of pain, Government actions, lives left in strain, Silent the Court, what answer does it yield, Countless voices silenced, a truth concealed.
Ambedkar's foresight, a warning bell, "If wielded by ill, a constitution will fell, No matter its strength, its noble intent, Futile it becomes, its impact spent."
Truth, non-violence, principles held high, The ideals that Gandhi reached for the sky, Discarded, dismissed, no longer to see, In power's dominion, they cease to be.
Smartphones, internet, screens ablaze, A world connected, yet hidden malaise, With a single stroke, silence prevails, Truth suppressed as darkness trails.
For those who couldn't be proud and free, Embracing Indianness with unity, Ahead lies a fate somber and stark, As fanaticism casts its shadowy mark.
In deity’s name, cheers may have rung, But control lurked, manipulation sprung, A nation's essence slowly stripped, A script repeated, history gripped.
Time flows onward in shadows' embrace, A tale hidden, secrets to retrace, Let wisdom guide, let hearts unfold, Unite for justice, truths to be told.
In the midst of darkness, seek out the light, A world reborn from endless night, In unity's embrace, strength shall rise, Breaking chains, reaching for the skies.
In the kingdom of shadows, hope prevails, A beacon's flame amidst veiling trails, It's time to rise, unite, and mend, Sow seeds of change, darkness to transcend.
