The true phase of India

a poem by Mahua Roy

What has India achieved in these 53 years?
Nothing much, but only tears.

Too much of population, no modesty, no wisdom,
Who says that we are enjoying Freedom?

‘India is a secular country’, everybody says so,
Where is its secularism? Where did it go?

Everyone is worried about himself and his family,
No one is ready to serve India wholeheartedly.

Don’t just feel if a Nuclear Test is done,
First try to understand that ‘We are one’

Is this Independence? I ask you O Indians,
Just think about my words! at least! once!

O! Children of India! This is our time to wake,
Let us unite! ;just for India’s sake!
