Sipra's diary: :Poetry Tribute to 4th july in Mirror



 


       'Oh  say, can you see',what lie ahead,
       Standing under  the pressure
       Of undesired piles of crises
       Are you perturbed or Afraid?
              
      Oh America, what a great test
      Now that  you need to select,
      whether  you would chose  to be hunchback
      Bankrupt father of the opulent immigrants
      Or, a solvent capitalist leader of the Nation,
     To take care of the country with allround vision?

     At the dawn of your young   days
     You famed as a 'nation of immigrants'!
     But long back,you achieved to ride on
     By your own; stood up as savior with valour;
     As asylum that is  too overburdened
     To shelter now  anymore!

    Oh, Time summons you to pitch deeper
    In the heart of the Nation
    The star spangled banner
    That waves with reminder:

    Each bright star is the symbol
    For each state  that was rescued
   At the cost of blood and lives of  the  ancestors,
   Who sailed  through the stormy ocean,
   Crossed the desert and mountain,
   Marched bruised,on prickly thorn,
   To bestow peace and freedom to the Nation!

Oh Nation,
What treasure  do you restore
For the ancestors  as tribute?
Can you  promise  to retain
Their pride, power, prosperity and peace?

How much to expect
From this 'Humpdty Dumpty' diverse nation?
Are they willing to chant  together
 In chorus tune again
 'God  bless  America!'
