Independence?

Fireworks exploding in the sky
Painting it with brightful colours.
Dyeing the clouds and invading our sight.
We are celebrating our independence.
But independence from what?
Reality is telling us that we are not independent at all.

We will always depend on someone or something.
Our parents, our bosses, our significant others...
It really doesn't matter who or what
We will never be independent.

We are just celebrating our people's freedom.
Listen to the noises
The skies are roaring with happiness
Drinking and smoking having a blast.
Enjoy the day because tomorrow it will be another story.
