What Mother India told me over our morning coffee…

August 15, 2019 – On Indian Independence Day

Feels so good –
to be –
72 years –
independent!

But still,
feel tied by –
poverty,
pollution,
corruption,
intolerance,
unnecessary conflict,
free-riding,
injustice,
inequity,
garbage –

Apathy,
You got to leave now,
Action!
Come on in-
Help me –
get truly free.

I need you,
my sisters, my brothers.
