Wake up!!!

It’s not just another day; it’s not just a holiday

It’s our Independence Day, It’s our Independence Day

How many of us realize the importance of this day?

How many actually feel to celebrate this day?

We celebrate our religious festival with joy & Cheer

But why can’t we celebrate the day which represents our identity?

Why can’t we think of raising our head high and salute to our flag?

Why can’t we distribute sweets and help people on this day?

Why we plan going out with our family to serve our personal cause?

Why we always want that day to come on a weekday? Especially Friday or Monday…

Is this what we should do? Is this we call ourselves Indians?

Wake up brothers & Sisters, Wake Up

We know how hard it was for the people, who got us this freedom,

How our freedom fighters cash in their lives for this,

How our forefathers are involved in the freedom struggle,

How the torture many people took with proud for our country,

It was so hard but they got united for a single cause,

The cause to have their children breathe the air of freedom,

To make our country stand on its own and compete with others.

The struggle not just started sixty three years back, but long

So for such a long struggle can’t we give one day?

A day for them, a day for the Country

Wake up brothers & Sisters Wake Up

We do love our country but we don’t want to spend time

We praise our country when we go abroad,

We follow all the rules there but the same we violate in ours

We criticize our leaders today, but don’t take time to go and vote

We curse our system but never take an opportunity to do something

We say India is going from bad to worse, but forget who is behind

In the name of Democracy we do all sorts of things

Today we criticize corruption but appreciate when it comes to you

To get our things done we cross all boundaries of illegality

We just think about ourselves and just ourselves,

So if we are like that then can we do something for our country?

Think & Wake up brothers & Sisters Wake Up

We have reached the moon but still follow the bad old custom

We are the most talented minds in the world

But still show stupidity when feed the division of castes

The girls are walking along with guys,

But on the same side we kill our sisters and burn for Dowry

We spend hours on the internet, but don’t care about our neighbors

We spend money on burgers but don’t care to give a rupee to the needy

We became so mean and we never care for it.

What happened to us? Wake up brothers & Sisters, Wake Up

It’s not all that bad we are and our country is the best

We have people on one side who help people

We are the only country that has so many great people

We had Gandhi Ji who taught us non violence & selfless

We had Vivekananda who was among the most talented person

We had Tagore Ji who taught us what love is

We had Mother Teresa who taught us how to live life for others

The list goes on and they all are the people we can learn from

Let’s take an oath on this day and do something for the country

Let’s bring our brothers & sisters together and fight against

Corruption, autocracy, terrorism, regionalism, selfishness.

Let’s take an oath to be the true citizens of India

And let’s pray that we grow and so as our country grow.

We salute to our freedom fighters and we salute to the soldiers securing our borders

We salute to all those doing good for our country and making one

We are one and each one can bring a difference to this Country

Share and teach, love and respect, care and comfort, that what we call India

Happy Independence Day to my brothers & Sisters

Happy Independence Day!!!
