One Pledge

Over a billion of us - one Pledge
An oath taken countless times
An oath not all remember
India is my country

One rightful haven
Unlike the less fortunate
Who still struggle
To call a place home

We ridicule the system
But at least there's one in place
We cry for luxuries
But at least the basics are in place

Education we crib about
The very same that taught us to compare
We run around for petty things
But at least not for our lives

Our voice is not heard we say
But at least we can raise it
Nothing's going to change we declare
But at least we have the chance to try

India is my country
