In True Spirit

A salubrious spirit and the independence it seeks

Won’t remain a tenant here, it decides to flourish 

Transform with the influences of independence

From that same tradition, wish to flourish eternally

Spirit of life ought not be usurped unceremoniously

Of remaining under constant scrutiny of tyranny

Suffer from the choleric moments and bitterness

Fallow lands always yields insensitivity and anger 

Sympathies cannot be an ephemeral concept

Neither it will allow peace nor evolution of mind

Wars crush bones with brute force; only remains

Of savageness, when spirits become despotic

Cannot crush the essence of life to gain independence

Time to recognise the traits and eradicate

Blood can finally sympathise with spirit of life

Condescendingly speaking of freedom is unbearable

Try as much, the spirit obsessed with ferociousness

Can only kill the ultimate spirit of independence
