I Celebrate
I Celebrate


My independence
is still a big question.
My liberation
is still a big question.
My ignorance
stabs me,
my knowledge
vanquishes me.
Helpless I am to run,
Helpless I am to sloganeer
that I am independent.
Yes,
people are independent,
I am not,
I am not,
I croon
And I listen,
I need more time to grow,
I need more time
to assassinate my darkness.
Yes,
I celebrate,
I celebrate
the glory of my country.
I genuflect
to the tricolour
of
my National Flag,
But
My flag still awaits
freedom
from the labyrinth.
