Where the Mind is full of fear - Parody poem -Poolabala

Where the mind is full of fear and the head is held low Where the knowledge is unimportant and world is stolen by internet  Where people survive as groups in social media where words come out  from preposterous chat by imposters where ceaseless prowling stretches its arms towards abduction where thinking is permanently damaged  Where logic ceases and thinking dies where education has no meaning  where personality succumbs to hero worship where caste thrivesand  corruption flourishes where religion rules the senses where  tradition serves the purpose of exploitation  where the mind is led forward by politics into ever shrinking thought and faction, into the nation of half alive zombies my father,  my country has awoken.    - poolabala

                                                                                      

Where the mind is without fear - -Rabindranath Tagore

  

Where the mind is without fear and  the head is held high where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls where words come out from the depth of truth where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my father let my country awake.
