It's Ten Millenniums Past!

It's ten millenniums past:
- When, world at large,
Was midst a midnight's gloom;
Far from the dawn!

- When humans:
took their shelters,
In deep caves;
Like all other animals;
All cannibals!

-Our forefathers
Dwelled in civilized hamlets;
And, composed hymns of Vedic-heights: in syntax!
- Their genes are secure:
In our blood and bones!

Who knows?
Who dwells: in our close neighbourhoods?
From lines of Vedic Deities;
And, those Saints!

It's yet a land of saints;
And, innocents!

Let's make our country:
More JUST and PRUDENT!!

It's Fifteenth of August:
An august day!
Let's stand delighted
Midst ourselves
And say:

We're ecstatic,
Our souls and bodies free!
Let freedom bring:
ETERNAL LOVE,
AND GLEE!
