Goa is engulfed in controversies of land-grabbing, drugs and sex,
While other states forge ahead and their muscles proudly flex
Makes me wonder when we will awake and shake off our indifference.
And find an inspiring leader who will in our minds drive some sense.
Embolden us so that we regain our spine and stick out our necks.
Are we doomed to be hewers of wood and drawers of water?
Are we forever going to be like lambs ready for slaughter?
What is the solution to our manifold and complex ills?
When will we have freedom for the creativity of our skills?
I hope this will at least happen in the lifetime of my son and daughter.
