The Tiranga Weeps On Independence Day .. Every Year, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
the roadside beggars 
sell our beloved flag
our achievements
scams corruption 
encounter killings 
rising prices of all 
food essentials 
is there anything 
else to brag...
sand stealing 
destroying nature 
police atrocities 
lathi charging 
shooting kids 
on bikes  
killing children 
with midday meals 
rapes a second 
murder acid throwing 
on women ,,brutalized 
girl child dowry deaths 
our progress we do not lag 
after independence day 
on streets gutters beneath 
our feet we murder our 
country's flag,,,treat it 
worse than a house rag..
our countrys wealth 
in the hands of corrupt 
politicians bookies crooks 
criminals godmen moneybags 
yet as a beggarly poor nation 
by the rich powers we are tagged
Happy 67 Independence Day...
not the beggar kids but those 
in high places have sold out 
our country our national flag
