Is Independence Really Possible To Achieve? Poem by Ramesh T A

Celebrating national Independence day every year,
Each one wonders how independent one is nowadays!
Independence means freedom, liberty and rights to
Do what one wishes without interference from all.

Now, politicians have all independence in their
Hands to handle civilians as they wish getting
votes from them to rule the nation as they wish
Thereby taking away the independence of all people!

Independence in only in the book, but not in reality;
The independence all have got is only political one
That gives full independence only to a political one
And that means it's not a real independence at all!

Real independence one gets only when one is politically,
Economically and socially independent sure in the nation;
When one will get total independence to enjoy full freedom
And rights has become a one billion dollar question now!

Even when that independence is got, one cannot call oneself
Independent as man is a social animal only and each and
Everything is interconnected and dependent in Nature and
That gives the inference that independence is a dream only!
