It's 15th august, see the euphoric sunrise
but is there anyone to leave that disguise
it's an independence day and everyone is smiling
but can you see our mother's tears..she is crying..
try to look back and see what we've achieved
is this the same environs that we've imagined
we say, we've education, we are literate
but we follow sick traditions to be blindfolded
yes now we have ability to reach the moon
then what about people who're struggling for food
we've people who are serving for the "states"
we've children begging to write "A" on their slates
celebrations and lighting, a filmfare award ceremony
tomorrow an exam, no electricity, child..a victim of poverty
brotherhood that we thought is our bond for decades
then why there are riots, blood and peace that fades
you are Hindu, your are Muslim, we're living in pieces
want to stop this but can't listen to our inner voices
humanity we say is in our blood..no no it's in our Bible
people getting killed for lust..it's a Lucifer's carnival
with money and power few sapheads control many
then our politics is a shit and democracy is just a tragedy
who's gonna change this or we are going to be the same
no one is going to..not you..not me..we all are insane
there is no way out we are a part of this fucking system
we have built this somehow so no right to give a criticism
Do we need a hero to save us? go over your soul, find him there
we all are having him inside just initiate efforts together
lustrous hopes and desires, today it may be a new sunrise
it's the time to erase rust in our mind, the bloody disguise
before my death willing to see everyone so felicitous and smiling
save our mother, save her existence..she needs us..she is dying..!!
[[Started writing this poem on 12th August..wanted to put it before 15th August..but somehow couldn't manage to indite as got busy with office work..then those pages were just left out but couldn't remain the same when I saw them two days back and finally the poem has been posted here..!!..Another effort to grab a subject like this..which is not personal..not regarding love or betrayal..but it's regarding our mother..what's happening to her and what we are doing..hope you will like it..!!]]
