We have now won two world-wars, neither of which concerned us, we were

Of Europe, that were the powers of the world, into rubble and

It is absolutely right and nothing wrong

They were hanging men in Buckland who would not cheer King George –
The parson from his pulpit and the blacksmith from his forge;
They were hanging men and brothers, and the stoutest heart was down,
When a quiet man from Buckland rode at dusk to raise Charlestown.

Healthy patriotism flourishes only by religious harmony, democracy and unity;
To be so, corruption in all ways has to be eliminated in democratic countries;
Political corruption brings dishonest politicians to power to rule nation in bad way;
For that, people have to be careful in selecting candidates in elections forever!

In your reign, the ogre of vacancy was strong.
The regime wasn't right, majority was wrong.
The monster of corruption was massive and bad.

And so many suffer of low self esteem

My Nation- My Pride

I never imagine, I see
The thing, which I see, I write.
Dream is not only my activity
Starved imagination is,

You love your motherland –
One, where you were born and nurtured in
Unknown ways, most miraculously.

Proud is a word that is so often used
And proud is a word that's too often abused
Proud of our Nation's war victories and proud of our Nation's flag
Pride as well as coming before a fall gives us the right to brag
...
The questions you ask young lady, young man
of our nation and my generation, is nothing unexpected.
Just like the blood our dead brothers and your forefathers shed;
they have and always will beg to be given answers.

You can know longer say that your country is free
When your choice is clothes hangers or a trip down the stairs
You can know longer pretend there's not a price to the dream
When your job is a treadmill that's going no where

(Author's Talk about the Poem: The poem was written to celebrate the occasion of 60th Republic Day of India in 2010. Albeit, India got independence on 15th August,1947, it became republic country only after the constitution came into existence for the first time on 26th January,1950. In India all the people celebrate Republic Day with pomp and grandeur. However this poem pleads all Indians to think about problems, which Indian nation is confronting at the moment. It further asks all the Indians to be united to strengthen its democratic ideals.)
Happy! Happy! Republic Day
Wish you a happy Republic Day,

***Important information, ADDED August 7th 2017:
Readers of showcases, this August's showcase has been somewhat of a bother to me, for various reasons. I've had 'technical problems' maneuvering through the process of putting it together. Much of the trouble has to do with its length and my attempts to make it more user-friendly. PoemHunter does not always cooperate either. Now I am in the process of breaking the LONG showcase (over 40 poems, by over 40 poets) into FOUR PARTS: A, B, C, and D.
