DOES THE FLAG TRULY FLY?

DOES THE FLAG TRULY FLY?

 

Chosen hands would pull hard:

To kick it smoke high,

Up towards the precarious edge,

The folded tri gets hoisted,

Like the fresh wings of a tended bird!

 

Twice in a year:

This ritual gets staged,

With the actors holding the tilting rope,

And their performance does make the pathetic flag,

Go into the steeply distance and laugh aloud!

 

Don’t touch me it shouts:

The audibility resonates in the form of doubts,

The country’s soul is stampeded and left with drought,

As the farmers, the soil’s sons and daughters getting crushed throughout

OH! the flag is forgotten and the hoister flauntingly boasts!

 

The freedom got nurtured,

Not with the flood but with the blood,

That of fighters and writers,

It is there on the flag’s flight,

But at the heart of the hoisting leader, it is disgustingly lite!

 

Hands of many always join:

Ignoring individual lordship and their worship,

Breaking the walls and bridging the hearts,

Eyes are theirs but tears on them for others

This noble peace is butchered but on flag that white is cheated!

 

To cultivate factory and stations:

Greenery gets massively massacred,

Forming is proportionately pushed aside,

Freshness being buried and none is worried,

Only in the flying colour it is silently revealed!

 

The spirit of patriotism should be primary:

But what the hoister knows is cursory,

With that their entry into politics seems to be burglary,

What they come and do in the government is only a robbery,

Many polluted hands merge and keep the country always at tertiary!

 

Let the insignia genuinely fly:

At the post of corruptionless governance,

Being triggered by the rope of secularity,

Having the dynamic colour of equality,

Being applauded by the sweetness of humanity!

 

The wind that elevates the emblem:

Must be filled with sacrificial past,

Should be oxygenic in pluralistic future,

Has to contain unbiased and inclusive present,

Ought to suffocate the undemocratic tyrant!

 

What does it cordially say?

The mechanical festivity is an ungrateful way,

Don’t be venomously charged and stay,

In the public position as it is an altruistic ray,

To attain all these, through the waving the flag anxiously prays!
