An era had begun in the new millennium,imparting in the developing half of the globe,a feeling of vigour and ecstasy,
To challenge the invincible,with the collapse of the West's economic supremacy;
Plagued by terrorism,which promoted the adoption of stringent safety measures that were meant,
To lead to outsourcing of jobs to the Orient;
The American dream was not worth hankering after,
When equally good and more fulfilling opportunities lay ahead at home,rather;
Where the heart truly wanted to be,
With more for oneself to feel and see;
For the home-bound expatriate,having migrated yonder,
Absence from home made the heart grow fonder.
The upheaval in the Dark Continent was against tyranny,
And the extermination of the world's most undesirable in a British colony;
Amidst political instability in a gerontocracy,that led to vulnerability,
To terrorism,nepotism and corruption,apart from hi-tech scams that amounted to felony;
A crusader had emerged to combat,with the support of many a citizen,
Whose abstinence from food and drink led to the Gandhian change we wished to see in our countrymen;
For progress,prosperity,security and equality in society,
And freedom from the clutches of tainted politicians and from bureaucracy.
