Your land emerald equator
treasure barn, star cluster
useless..! !
during prosperity only owned by a handful of people
your sea endless blue
where hope grow and evolve
useless..! !
during the famine still be one boat friends
your reds so gallant
echoed through the spirit that burnt
useless..! !
if limited to discourse and rhetoric
your whites authoritative sacred
radiated through the soul that great
useless..! !
if stained by promises and lies
your ancestors whiz-bang seaman
tame the sublime waves
useless..! !
his successor just a two-faced coward
your emblem the holy Rajawali
true protector that isn't partial
useless..! !
because your Rajawali can be purchased with dollars
you song woo melodious
shouted the beauty of your nature nations
useless..! !
that song already sad, crying in time sequence
your story independence squeals
fight for the freedom of nations
useless..! !
that squeals has been silenced, forced into silence even from within

a great piece of poetry none i can say accept excellent work and tribute
I salute that poet who created such a nice poem to celebrate the independence day of a country. The real citizen always thinks silently the common good for all the people, not for a single segment of a society. Secondly, I thank to Vdb who has jointly translated the poem to know the world-readers the real inner-reality of a country by its socio-economic status. Thirdly, repeated use of the word useless becomes inevitable by its proper use. Thanks for sharing......................Pranab k c
