Greatness of the South Asian Civilization -a poem

by Basil Fernando
[June 15, Hong Kong , Sri Lanka Guardian]

A group of police strip a woman
and attempt to force her
to have sex with her minor son

That happened in New Delhi
India boasts that it is the cradle of civilization
The birt place of all religions
In South Asia we are told
We are greater than all
And sovereignty resides in the people
