Is This The Change?!

IS THIS THE CHANGE?!

In arms our fore-fathers took to the forest with range
A time had come for freedom and change
With blood they sealed the change treaty
For their future grandChildren's treat
And now we're free I can't help but wonder
Is this the Change?
Through out their had and agonising fight
They had time for their loved one's plight
Children always looked forward to the evenings by the fire
For stories as the pot cooked
Now we're free I can't help bt wonder
Is this the Change?
Even after day's long work
Everything seems wrong
No one I eager to go home
I too want to stay a little longer
Tired to get home early only to languish in agony
Of seeing the dissapointed faces
Yet we're free ,I can't help but wonder
Is this the Change?
The touts tries in vain
To lure a group of uninterested home goers
I watch as he shouts hiked bus fares like a mad man
Its clear society has lost all welfare
And now we're free ,I can't help but wonder
Is this the Change?
And as it gets dark in the night
A beggar gives up and folds in his old mat
The streets are now in frenzy
And guards takes their position in the deserted alleys
Its no longer safe I conclude
And I too head home in the valleys
We 're free indeed but I can't help but wonder
Is this the change?
I leave behind a street crowded by hungry street urchins
For a Change I pass by the park And here anOther crowd is sitting watching the pigeons

Now I shake my head and wonder
Are free? Is this the change our fore-fathers ranged for
