Bharat

in the dark hour of midnight
a lady was born
with aspirations in her children
foregone

dressed in three colors
she was brought on stage
in caring hands
just out from the cage

but all was not well
as her children fought
for the reasons
which are better not told

as time passed
wounds were healed
but not before
children forgot all her needs

today they celebrate
her sixtieth b'day
without a gift
which will make her real gay
