FACE OF FACEBOOK KRANTI

FACE OF FACEBOOK  KRANTI.......
         Today we show our national pride through a profile picture
         Sixty years ago, people were  little different
         
        Today we support a cause by joining a page
        They joined a march

        We show our dissent by sharing a link
        They formed a human chain

       We spread awareness in less than 140 characters
       Back then, a hundred and forty thousand took to the streets

      We express our opinions from the comforts of our wall
      They did it from the confines of a cell

     We raise an issue by standing in front of camera
     They stared down the barrel of gun

     We pledge our support by sending an SMS
     They sent someone from every family

    So is it time for us to stop being passive observers
    And start being active supporters ?

    Can we stop rallying from behind
    And step up in front ?

    Let's borrow a little spirit of independence from history
   And take it into future

   Maybe then national pride will last longer than just one day.....

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY....
