LET ME THINK, "IF I AM AN ACTIVE MEMBER, OR JUST BELONG?"

Am I an active member, quite strong and bold,

Or, I am just satisfied because my name is enrolled ?

Do I know my constitution with goals and objectives,

Or just careless because known to my leaderships ?

Am I aware of the activities undertaken by my union,

Or just I have kept a watch on the problems of my own ?

Do I attend the meetings regularly and try to realize,

Or just stay at home and intend to criticize?

Do I keep any interest for welfare of the mass,

Or just satisfy my own, saying "Yes Boss"?

Do I like to come together with the flock?

Or just stay alone to find fault and knock? 

Have I ever visited a member who is sick?

Or shift the responsibility to a few and talk about the clique?

The existence of my Organization is at stake – Am I aware,

Or my status and pension are intact! – Am I quite sure?

Post Offices will be closed and A Company will rule,

If I don't react to save, won't I be a fool?

 Things will be outsourced and there will be a blow,

What shall I do and where shall I go?

Helter-skelter everywhere, false assurances perplexing,

Can't I do something to see my people smiling?

India is mine, so also India Post and its employees,

Right time has come for me to know and realize.

July 5^th Indefinite Strike is the right occasion to answer,

Active participation for a total success irrespective of cadre.

If not this time, everything will be wrong,

Let me think, if I am an active member, or just belong?
