Total sad demise

It is dead song now and carries no meaning We used to rejoice at their reversals when not winning The British Empire was slowly loosing its hold Each territory was claiming independence from their fold We thought foreign yoke was blot on our motherland They had come as traders and pretended as friends We forgave them for their territorial greed and trade But can any one ell us where are we today before memory fads? As foreign occupants, they cheated, looted and even ruled Today our own representatives have lied and fooled Where the poor men in street and what are are they dreaming? They curse their past sacrifice and wish old tyrants for home coming Not a single place we find where they have not laid their hands! Not a single individual we find who has not grabbed a piece of land! Who knows how much wealth they have deposited in foreign countries? Poor find no bread for square meals with enough of plight and miseries Can we take pride in claiming as true democratic people? Are we able to shape the rules despite being able to? Our mandate has become guaranteed period to misrule No restriction and counter checks to force their way or curtail People may find end to their patience Still some time is left to come to sense When nothing is left to eat and cloth the body They will only be left to the mercy of somebody Each and every politician is claiming some reward Let people go to hell but he needs in kind and awards We wished foreigners good luck when they departed The locals are forced on us and they will never be parted Rules and regulations are made mockery of the system Judiciary and rule of the laws are of laughing stock with them Freedom speech means accusation in every direct without basis Like mad bull roaming in street with no means to chase and emphasis We take oath under the name of religion to cheat Spread hatred and lies so people take to arms and fight What else we have done to glorify our past sacrifices? We feel shame to remember past glory with total demise
