INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATIONS?

Please don't think that I am not an Indian and not a patriot.But I speak the truth.I will read all your poems and only then will I write another poem of mine.I will keep my promise

I un-necessarily  hated the British.

Because, I thought, they looted Indian treasure,

Beyond  any historical measure.

But, was not their administration a great pleasure?

 

They followed their queen.

Their character was so clean.

They loved their mother.

Other things they did not bother.

 

Did they not construct dams,

Railways and beautiful mansions?

Did they ever succumb to bribes?

Did they not give us statute books?

 

What about their English language?

Does it not help us in this modern age?

Oh1 Mahatma, Seeta Rama Raju and Bhagat singh!

Why did you sacrifice your precious lives for your mother’s suffering?

 

Did you think Indians were really honest

And work for their mother without any rest?

They looted her mother more than the British

They preserved  the property safely in Swiss.

 

Even the Prime Minister is not free from corruption

Brother Hazarre is the real volcanic eruption.

How can we celebrate Independence day

When the British were least corrupted in their own way?

You've penned your thoughts very well with this JVL.. xx

I can feel the angst and conviction
of your unyielding voice.
Glad you made your
opinion clear.

Corruption come from many direction. Iraq is a prime example. Did we help Iraq? USA torn down a organize country and made her confused and the internal fighting is leaving the innocent dying in the way of struggle. Your words are true and can be discussed. When I was young. I was told to run for office. I told them I'm too honest to be a politician. Than you for a powerful poem. Every country in this world know the same story as in your poem.
