Of Goals realised

This vast country, that gained independence
Standing on shoulders of leaders idealistic
But later run by leaders who were first selfish

Has it managed to live up to goals
Of values and cherished desires
Of equality and equal opportunity to all
Of justice and freedom to be free to all

I am held back in thought, that we are still governed
By powers and ideals that are completely foreign
Our money and people, both flying abroad
What is left if the best, think of only themselves
If we not create and export, how will economy thrive
If we not uphold our traditions, how will culture survive
