We Are Going To Observe Poem by Gajanan Mishra

We are going to observe
15th August, the day of independence.
But are we independent in the true sense?
What do you mean by Independence Day?
We are not able to use our own language so far,
We are not able to produce our own food so far,
We are not able to initiate our own policy so far,
We are not able to get from our own elected Govt
What we desire,
We are not able to move freely anywhere,
We are not able to earn the knowledge
That is there in our soil,
We are not able earn livelihood in our home-land,
We are not able to express ourselves openly to anybody,
We are not free in anyrespect anywhere
And we are going to observe Independence Day. Thanks.
