Another of my Independence Day posts. Lets not forget what our country went through to get to where it is.

Through blood & toil
They freed are soil
Fearless they stood
In the name of brotherhood
With words & swords
& Independence their reward
they fought the reign
Through insult & pain
There came many men
some with guns & some with pen
They ignited the inner fire
demanding freedom from sire
They met with resistance
but prevailed with persistence
Finally it came down
we saw the demise of the crown
& when the world slept
we awoke from our depth
The tricolour rose high
touching the free sky
To all on the streets
Oh! freedom felt so sweet
Till day we must remember
the sacrifice of each member
To hold our heads as free
& make our present ever better then history.
