ARE WE INDEPENDENT ...

What does FREEDOM mean to us?
Do we really celebrate it ?
Or pass it like a single day fuss..
Do we know our hero's name
Who has given Indians
A lot of pride and fame...

Even after sixty years
Have we wiped the billion tears ?
Who live with such pain
To make us think of
Our Independence again !

So what does freedom really mean
Is it the celebration of
Every Indian's dream ?
Or just as every day and night
15 August takes an ether's flight ;

Has India really awaken
From the dark patch
Of sixty years?
Do the hymns of the greatest men
Really resound in our ears ?
Have we ever in our life
Chanted the words"VANDE MATARAM"
Do we still stand up when we listen to
"JANA GANA MANN"

Are we the people who have
Taken "Things " for granted ?
Are we them who have
Taken Millions of deaths for granted ?
Because many of us have earned
Our freedom free -
And enjoy it like a spree :

But " freedom is our birth right "
And we must celebrate it
With all our might
But in the deepest core of our hearts
Many a question remains unanswered....

How will we contribute to
India's glory and fame ?
How will we make ourselves worth
Our " Indian " name ?
To make India in the truest sense
INDEPENDENT once again !
