We Are Proud To Be Independent Poem by TADASHA TRIPATHY

We fear to walk on the road
We fear to complain
Against illegal
We feel shame on
Conversation with our mother tongue
Still we are proud to be independent.
We hesitate to vote
We never have shame
While saying
India to be undeveloped
We make pictures on slum
But forget to help them
We have tears for orphans
But hands are never expanded
Still we are proud to be independent.
We only discuss
We make plans with pen
We develop in papers
We can give birth with files
We can declare death with files
Still we are proud to be independent.
We are forced to learn foreign language
For a foreign culture
As the symbol of status
Never hesitate to make imaginary
To the real truths
Never hesitate to sell our GOD
Still we are proud to be independent.
