As the clock struck 12,
Millions of hearts raced ...
As it was the eve of Independence...

But some really didn't care,
As for them it was,
Just a holiday ...

Little did they know,
What their ancestors,
Had fought for...
Their lives wouldn't,
Have been the same...

Dominance, racism, corruption,
May have engulfed the nation...
But within the nation,
Lies the cure- Unity & love...
