When winds of change
threaten
to drown you
in their callous modes of destruction…..
When forgotten values,
lost
in the mire of corrupt thoughts and emotion
strangulate your conscience……
When a country
becomes
a mere medium to grab greedily
transcending all classes of humanity…
THEN….
duty beckons
beyond selfish satiation
and mass misendeavour…
THEN…
the value of freedom
becomes less a page in history,
more a functioning moment in one’s present,
less a memory,
more a committment
to compensate malice, hurt and despair.
This independence day
Let’s wrap our minds and souls
in the truth of the tri- colour
promising to be honest
at least
to ourselves.
JAI HIND……
Independence Day poetic message is wonderful to read! Jai Hind!
Jai Hind Ramesh. God bless our country. Always.
