Struggles And Slogans Poem by Sheshu Babu

We have waited for long....!
Till the later half of 20 th century,
More than half of our lands
Were ruled by colonial tyranny...!

We thought we were relieved
When ' Independence ' greeted us
As a sweet fruit of our struggles...! !

But then,
New colonialism- ' neo- colonialism'
Replaced
With more hegemony and supression....

We will not relent!
Will continue our struggles and shout
Down with tyranny!
Down with hegemony!
Long live freedom!
Long live peace! !
