A New Oath for Independence Day
Independence of thought, independence of actions,
Free from prejudices, and negative intentions.
May we rise above pettiness,
Shower all with love and kindness.
Let us pull each other up, let all spirits soar,
See if someone is knocking, go open the door.
Give him food, water, clothes or a patient ear,
Sometimes all one needs is a smile and a cheer.
Shine the torch of truth, benevolence and empathy,
To all who need it, and you will be blessed aplenty.
For, to give is to receive, is all we should know,
God has given us love, it’s time we ought to show.
Why not try something beautiful and new this Independence Day
Live together as humans, let all reservations wash away.
