Dearly sought and well fought
the fight for justice and self governance
had finally borne fruit.
And yet the spirit of the many
could not overshadow the pain
that stabbed the heart of a just born nation.
The foreign yoke left us
with their ‘divide and rule’
which was possibly, the heaviest price to pay.
Our many freedoms have been paid for
by the paradox of non-violence and blood
and now in the quagmire of corruption we stay.
What does it mean to be free as a nation?
To forsake our brothers
and divide a land by borders?
But now, celebration is the order of the day.
After all, we successfully fought
the English onslaught: a fight without the savagery and rage.
This is a revolution, as unique as it gets
Without blood spilled on our hands
and with soaring spirit and guts.
We are a nation proud
that serves as a beacon of hope
in a world full of violence.
And this is the triumph
we capture and celebrate
on our Independence day!
