Happy Independence

Happy Independence

What kind of independence is this?

Retired army officers,who served the country,

Protecting lives of us citizens, 

Sacrificed their comforts.....

To give us the security and comforts

Today in their very own country, are

Laticharged, dragged, manhandled....

by the police of this country, 

at who's behest?...And for what?

For peaceful settlement, of

The issue of pension?

The Govt. in a bid to prove their point, always

Plays the blame game on other parties 

like a tennis shot, on Congress, App, and whom not.

Is there anyone to question our respected PM 

Narendra Damodardas Modi, the ruling govt. 

The police fraternity, being in their control ,

Do we understand that the BJP govt is...

Hands and glove in this shameful act.

It pains further to know , that

Sons and daughters of these retired officers.

Are posted on the borders to protect

Their motherland and us citizens.

Imagine their bleeding hearts to know

Their parents in the dusk of life

Being manhandled by the very own people back home.

What kind of independence is this?

My head falls in shame,

When I say 'Happy Independence', or

Proud to be an Indian

And with a heavy heart sing....

Sare Jahan seh Acha Hindustan Hamara! 

Kiren Babal
