Independence Day, July 4, 2010
India
Rising Up
India earned freedom
with division;
Still suffering from imperfection and illusion
But she is reawakening in her age old spirit
Uttering the beauteous wealth giving tongue, Sanskrit.
All sorts of divisions created by the cunning and foxing lot
Are gradually giving way to unity and prosperity
Artificial dams over the rivers of logic
Are gradually breaking down
Men have realized the fault of creating
Ecological imbalance;
Adjustment at every step is perceptible.
Tiny buds are maturing day by day in every tree
To bloom at once, I dream.
