Independence Day

Today was independence day in our country, I dint know the exact date, I just woke up on it in the news, Don’t call me unpatriotic, because of that. I went to the shop, got a share of my breakfast, I noted, the prices had doubled, I looked at the shopkeeper, I wondered if he knew. I dint plan for that, now I was left with one way fare, I walked to work, during the independence day, Somewhere celebrations were being put in place. In the independence day, I saw a notice in my mail, Taxes and levies had gone up, it was circulated last week, May be it was something to celebrate about, building the government. How did it go? I don’t know! Any difference from yesterday? May be none, may be worse, For the first time, I had to think of it. I went home at dusk, my wife asked if I knew, “She so patriotic!” I wondered, I sighed, and said I knew, just a lie she dint know. I dint see any difference, just slaves inherited, But to a worse master, Don’t call me unpatriotic for that, it’s just how I see it. I went to sleep, just like yesterday, I saw it in the news, colorful celebrations, Who knows what it cost, may be a hungry soul in the North. I checked my site, and all other sites, Cheers all over, with many “I love my country” texts, I wondered whether it was for that or for independence?
