Free are we?

Free are we?
Dawn to dust, our forefathers fought in silence,
Theycalled it non – violence
Just to bring us to our freedom
They sacrificed their life through martyrdom
Are we reallyfree today, is the question we seek in vain
The answer I feel lies in our pain
Of course, some may believe that we arefree,
But these are just a small percentage, you may agree
An example is the influx of foreign corporations
And the dutiful support by our own relations
Still giving in to modern slavery of monetary temptation.
No time for a bit of recreation
Most of us are up and away
Making the most of everyday
If not for the Independence Day
We may know not real freedom per say
Corruption prevails in every turn
Justice is something that we still yearn
Equality is in itself a division
Fraternity lies in religious discrimination
Liberty of thought and expression has gone a bit over our expectation!
So apt is our constitution
The preamble framed with the above words, for speculation!
