I am burning incessantly
the end appears to be nearing
the energy levels are dying down
sublimation of the body fearing
the soul though has no abode
permanently to stay there
but the existing address is in me
and then to anonymity shall near
I breathe hard to remain alive
but the strength keeps diminishing
my aspirations are young enough
but my actions are retreating
I too have a ticking countdown
to remain in this materialistic earth
and when the counter reaches zero
my existence shall become unheard
yes, we all are a feeble naught
that can be easily wiped off
whether we do good or bad
the life is always written off
Now that you are a free nation
It is up to you what you choose
The chaos, the famine, the massacre
Or the development, safety, the welfare
The unemployment, dirty politics, the corruption
Or the happiness, standard of living, the education
The fight at the borders or the peace within
Poking at other’s affairs or the self grooming
Yes, now you are a free human
It is up to you what you choose
You may be a traitor or a true patriot
You may curse your nation for every rot
You may criticize the policies, leaders, the nation
Or you may still ask for more and more freedom
You may put the caste, the language above the nation
You may betray your motherland in the name of religion
It is up to you what you choose
First keep yourself in others shoes
Aren’t you misusing your freedom
With overconfidence on your wisdom
Are there obvious signs of enslavement
The mental and intellectual entrapment
Just celebrate the holy spirit of freedom
It is your life, your character, your nation
