India celebrates its 72nd Independence Day today. A dream I see take shape for my country is redefining its freedom in the truest sense.
redefine freedom
uncage the archaic systems
empower values
shape our country’s destiny
herald a better future!
A very Happy Independence Day !
Differentiating between
religion, caste and colour
obliterating lessons of humanity
creating islands for himself
by the boundaries of
trivial and mindless demarcations,
drawn by the imbecilic humans,
lost in the wave of animosity
drowning love in its intensity!
But ,
I hope, our soul awakens
from the ignorant slumber
to ignite a fine ray of hope
to end this apathy
and redefine the ambit
to include brotherhood
and to leave a legacy
of a country endowed
with life without territories!
An onset of a tempest brews within, when people put on a veil of ignorance,
when unruly waves of indifference drowns many in its flow,
when plunderers in the guise of rulers silently kill,
we lament the gradual death of the soul.
Oh ! Did your freedom go in vain, in the eons of time?
The martyrs who valiantly chose to rest on your earthy bosom,
whose widows swallowed silent tears,
when the infinite sea of fighters united
to drape you in the tranquil costume of freedom.
Not all is lost, dear Mother
a glimmer of hope quells the darkness,
when selfless crusaders stride on a march
chanting slogans of equality for all
with a dream to see you, O Mother!
In your natural splendour,
where the belly’s don’t feel the hunger,
children tread on a path of knowledge,
a women is not robbed of her dignity,
where home is not a privilege of a few,
where the only religion followed is that of
humanity and brotherhood
where love and peace dwell for eternity.
Let’s join hands together to realise this dream
to make our motherland proud of all her children.
