What it takes to build India

What makes India different from the other nations?
Is it our color, our languages or our raising melioration?
Over the years, we have built a bond too powerful to break
A bond so special that others try to take
Even with their modern minds and skillful tries,
They fail to take our united pride
But, what makes India different from other nations?
Fire from the dragons seems although weak
compared to the flames that light up the diyas in fleek.
The rich saffron, the thriving manospermas, the fine grown persimmons,
Makes the orange of India different from other nations
The clear blue skies and bright hot days,
can’t experience the pale white hew of rain.
The white clean cotton, the abundant grains of rice
Is what makes the white in India shine
The toxic fabrics colored with vibrant lies,
lack the authenticity of the true tint of India’s indigo.
The diamonds that shine, the strong waters that flow
Is what makes the blue in India glow
these colors make up our country’s flag
Can you see why these colors were chosen as they are?
These special tints symbolize the beauty of our land
They hide a message, which one understands when you look afar
The long days in fields to keep one’s family stable,
to experience India’s culture and unique traditions
are what the foreigners who mock our land desire to fission
What can’t be replaced has to be taken.
Our land is our character, shall we not protect it from these violent revolts and sirens?
The beauty that lingers within every grain of sand,
the familiar smell of rain amongst the land
Is what builds the land of India.
And that, is exactly why no other county could ever live up to its culture
