UNITY ?

Standing tall in metal and stone

Towering the Globe in glory I shine, 

Praised and lauded for sewing States

I look now into Nation so mine. 

Towers I see,I see asphalt and 

trodden and mowed down greens.

Giant rocks so Lilliput now--

I look into the march towards growth. 

I smile, I praise,I thank to Thee

for the transformations I stand to see

but, where have they, the un-sheltered gone?

I search for their placement and whine!

Beneath the towers and the stone

By the fading rivers and the farms

It pains to see em stripped to bone

baking under the heat from above n beneath

I see them pleading for a shower or alms 

bare and hungry, tanned and dry.

Oh! for the Nation that marches fast

This sight is so piercing, so aghast.

Seeking an answer standing tall

Flanked and clouded with questions many

n the light of a brighter Nation

I stand so tall, I stand so bowed and  heavy!
