Wake up call

Written by Sr. Mariella

India’s Independence Celebration: 15th August – the wake up call was heard and all dressed up and marched forward to the venue ...the heart of our nation’s pride. All blind and toothless Lifting their pointer stick, started Sensing whether they have reached the correct place of celebration. All opened their mouth to sing National Anthem But there arose hoarse uproar of sounds of varied rhythm and rhyme for they were all toothless. The little boy in the crowd looked up in wonder and asked, “Why are you all blind? Why are you all toothless?                         No answer was heard as no answer was found The boy took the history book And turned the pages and found the answer. “The freedom was sought and brought by the selfless leaders of the past. The freedom is celebrated and enjoyed by the selfish and foolish …of the present. In the bargain, freedom was murdered on the way and all the way, following the famous dictum “ Tit for tat” “  Eye for an eye” “  tooth for a tooth” And we have today the blind and toothless to celebrate an Independence Day. Wake up – Wake up – wake up Change your ways … Change your thoughts Change your plans Change your mistaken identity. =========== Sister Mariella.
