FREEDOM AT MIDNIGHT

At the stroke of twelve; midnight

We earned freedom! We did it!!!

We waited, waited, waited, waited

…………………………………………

………………………………………..

We waited not just six hours for dawn

But alas for sixty one years in vain

Very few dredged the darkness to fetch the light

But many spewed venoms to stretch the night

 

Terrorists, factionists and fanatics

Gained the reins of the reign in dark

To run their rackets free of any fetters

While our leaders remained indolent

Insolent, corrupt and inept with no intent

To direct and correct the groping multitude

 

Commoners too care not the dark nor feel any remorse

Even if the long waited day-break

Starts with longest solar eclipse

They preferred smug slumber and lives with no bother

And forgot without a doubt with perfidious conceit

The blood and sweat shed by our great founding fathers

 

Fumbling are we in gloom to untie many a Gordian knot!

Oh God! Save my country from all these Stygean fogs!!!
