A Republic Day Resolution! Poem by Ramesh T A

After national constitution was made ready, India became Republic;
After 26th January 1950, sixty-seven years have gone by now and
We are celebrating twenty eighth Republic Day with Illumination of
Colourful lights all over the States of India with pomp and joy sure!

Republic means colonial nation has been remade public property;
Public property has to be safeguarded as our own property for the
Survival of Indian society as sovereign power in the world fostering
Friendship with all but submission to none in the whole world ever!

For that, we all should achieve not only political freedom but also
Economic freedom, social freedom and cultural freedom forever..!
This is the time to have retrospective search over what we have
Achieved in the past decades and what we have to achieve further!

Public means people and people have to think about whether we
Have got the freedom we dreamed about or lost it with political
Freedom sans discipline to the extent of allowing corruption to spoil
All economic and social developments and also freedom with them!

Republic means remade into People's Democracy and so, it's our
Duty to see if our democracy is of the people, for the people and by
The people and take the resolution in the January of New Year 2017
That people's will should be fulfilled by the rulers of the nation sure!
