As the birds chirp,
you also demystify
your own melody –
A perfect score,
5 out of 5,
CHURN THE PUZZLE,
A new dimension,
You are 55.
Underneath the orange, yellow
and pinkish dawn, you hide
the grey coats of chains,
the sighs of saffron;
Then, you summer smile the sun-gold.
You blue breathe boldness of breaking
bitter bonds;
You feather fly the freedom,
the leap of liberty on the lawn-green.
You are Yourself today,
Just You,
Nobody else,
Nothing else,
Happy Independence Day, Beloved Island!
