Memories

Independence

(This poem is dedicated to all the freedom fighters of India.)

People were afraid,
Living in fear
Working for someone
Who wasn't dear.

Days passed
And so did years,
Then began the struggle
That changed the coming years.

People came together
They fought for a reason,
They were different
But it binded them together.

Many lives were lost
In the wars they fought
Sacrifices were made
For a single cause.

Their demand was Freedom,
Full Independence,
Do or Die
They gave them ultimatum.

Then came the day
They fought years for,
The day we were free
Independent after all.

This freedom will last
For years to come
Because people still fight
To protect our home.

Independent today
Will be Independent for years
I feel proud
To be an Indian.
