Independence Day

Dressed up in white,
A tricolour flag pinned to the chest,
Gleaming in the light,
Wishing everyone an happy independence day.

Gathered in the school ground,
A tall post had grown within a day, out of nowhere.
The principal started pulling the ropes bound,
And something crawled up the post.

On reaching the peak, it blossomed,
And rose petals came down floating.
A huge flag resembling the one on my chest,
Began dancing to the rhymes of the wind.

Such an exciting sight.
And the best part is yet to come.
Yes. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeets.
The reason why I was there in the first place.
