The blaring sounds of the biggle,
Reminds us of ” democracy”.
Standing akimbo to see the sun,
Exposing the blood in our
Beautiful colored flag
Green, white and Green,
Flying aimlessly in the air.
How can freedom be symbolized with chains?
The anthem has lost its rhythms,
The flag is about to fall
Freedom is defined in chains.
In the carriage of clanging chains,
Freedom is being proclaimed..
Our demo of democracy is crazy
Leaving us with the shock of absurdity….
How can a nation be held bound by the chains
Of terrorism, kidnapping , rituals, nepotism, selfishness,
Greed and corruption?
How can a nation celebrate freedom
When citizens can only whisper and not yell?
Freedom has become a disease
For the nation where the citizens never fly,
But only perceives the scent
Of the robust soup of freedom.
Maybe,when we break the chains,
We can truly see the light of freedom
Through the lens of our free mind.
