Independence

For freedom they fought,
is here for our pleasure.
Independence their thought,
is here for our leisure.

Laid their lives for a vision,
Independence was their mission.
Sacrificed every bit of their lives,
so that we can fly and not be caged physically and in our minds.

For every right we demand,
we should be grateful to our freedom fighters.
Because they had to struggle and suffer,
to give a country its priceless possession.

Unquestionable patriots,
some remembered and many forgotten.
Our freedom wasn’t free of cost,
it was a price paid from blood and sweat of our brothers and sisters.

The pain of losses is unbearable,
the thirst of wait of a father, a mother, a sister or a brother is unquenchable.
But let’s not sorrow for our martyrs and heroes,
Instead let’s be the vision the saw for us, that vision of our Country for which they fought and broke all fetters.

Let’s celebrate and salute every struggle,
let our hearts remember every story, some written and some spoken.
If not in history books, let it be penned in our being,
I believe there will not be a story untold or a vision unfulfilled.

Jai Hind


Happy independence day to one and all!
