Now & then

Sunday,16th May 2021

 

Now and then

it is always spoken

freedom is not taken

without the blood and sacrifice given

 

country and people

they have always struggled

shed the blood

and forbidden the food

 

martyrs

laid down their lives

who believed

in its sanctity and holiness and thus lived

 

generations may live

with peace and believe

how much dear is freedom?

given by our forefathers with wisdom

 

O, my dear brethren

throw away not the freedom taken

how many young lives are buried under?

so you can freely usher!

 

keep harmony and peace

but don't compromise, please

liberty and freedom must go together

don't compromise now or later

 

country or nation

shall maintain the cordial relation

treat each human with equality

but not at the cost of humanity
