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!
Dr. U. Mahendran.
