Empty minds and empty hearts,
Filled today with tri-colours at last!
But these colours fade so fast,
Without learning from struggles of past!!
We don't want to be free,
we don't want to be independent,
We enslave our hearts,
We enslave our minds,
To our selfish needs and senseless wants!
We proudly say we are social beings,
But our society is limited,
To our own homes, to our own flats,
Our own petty existence is the only thought!!
We have let ourselves get enslaved again,
All sacrifices of martyrs gone in vain,
The challenge now is much great,
We need to throw out,
not one but many oppressors present!!
Western trash, corrupt system, religious orthodox...
lost morals, hungry deaths and terror plots,
All the robbers have come together,
To rob us of our independence!
But what to do, and who will rise,
Everyone questions, but no one answers,
Alas we don't have those fighters,
Who fought with their lives to save our mother!!!

Indians forgot about Indianism...sad but hard truth!
nice poem. would be better in bengali, i think...
anyways, what robs us of our independence only gives us more incentive to break the existing shackles, does it not?
liked the piece, but was a bit too depressing.
Well written... I think you made a very interesting observation, we don't have those fighters now! Nice
