I wrote this for our Independence Day..
[FONT="]What makes us all a nation..?[/FONT]
[FONT="]A colored flag or a flavored slogan..?[/FONT]
[FONT="]A herd mentality inspiring notion..?[/FONT]
[FONT="]A common hate-filled passion..?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Is it the love of the feeding land..?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Love of mountains, rivers and their sand..?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Is it the love of structures of yore..?[/FONT]
[FONT="]A blind belief in all our folk-lore..?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Earthworms help dig up the soil[/FONT]
[FONT="]Plants and shrubs grow on their toil[/FONT]
[FONT="]Feed the worms with rotten roots[/FONT]
[FONT="]Herbivores live on the plant's shoots[/FONT]
[FONT="]Trees dig deep bringing out water[/FONT]
[FONT="]Birds and Animals have them for shelter[/FONT]
[FONT="]Diverse beings in a patch of vegetation[/FONT]
[FONT="]Inter-dependence makes them a nation..[/FONT]
[FONT="]Worms across the world form one family[/FONT]
[FONT="]Same with tree, plant, animal or a bee[/FONT]
[FONT="]Yet as they live in different vegetations[/FONT]
[FONT="]They become beings of different nations[/FONT]
[FONT="]A nation is bound by this zeal together[/FONT]
[FONT="]To sustain, grow and evolve further..[/FONT]
[FONT="]Of people with different ideas and 'gunas'[/FONT]
[FONT="]Sacrificing for each other's lacuna..[/FONT]
[FONT="]Happy Independence day..[/FONT]
