Freedom....

It's seventy four years passed since we got independence,

But still we failed in society to maintain right space.

They came, ruled us and tortured openly,

It seems they left some shadow of that knowingly.

They treated our women as a material for them,

Inspite of our mothers and sisters proving wrong to their claim.

They tried always to divide us and rule again and again,

But we fought together and proved them wrong then.

They had destroyed our properties and stolen them,

But our strength of patience and forgiveness gave them shame.

We forced them to leave our country and go,

That gave us freedom and we made it a big show.

Now we dance, sing and happily say,

We are free Indians and never try to betray.

Just think a moment and ask ourselves,

Do we really have freedom or still the slave?

We are now the slave of our selfishness and ego,

We never bother to see our society to grow.

We still are fighting with each other,

On the false shake of religion and cast factor.

We are still the slave of the narrow thoughts and brutality,

Watching the rape and torture of women in society.

We are still the slave of the culture of modern living,

And we forgot our own culture of love and sharing.

We have our brave, patriot soldiers fighting on border,

We are slave of selfishness and don't care for them ever.

Now the live had come for us to think it again,

To understand the reality and respect our women.

It's now the time that we stop fighting each other,

And work together to see our country grow better.

We had our tricolour flag to fly for our patriots sacrifice,

We should care and respect them, it will be act of wise.

We can develop and grow with modern technology,

But let us not forget our tradition, culture &ideology.

Then we can say that we had our real Freedom,

And the world will always salute us for our wisdom.
