A Free Soul Poem by Partha Pratim Goswami

A free soul-
Buried deep in mirth
Surmounts all the woe

And dreams infinite
To mend the wound
That squirts over mind
And poisons its frame.

A free soul-
Delirious with queries
Of authentic facts

And anxious about the world
Wanders beyond measure
Through mountains and valleys
And sails in the heart
Of the great sea;
To seek for a pearl
Of knowledge and wisdom.

A free soul-
Enriched with grief
Accumulated over the ages

Through laxity and exploitation
Of some cruel authority
Banished from all morality,
Quashes the former
Agitating with great revolution.

A free soul-
Builds and burns
With its immense power

And reforms the land
Sticking to its vision
Of cure, courage and unison,
At the turn of the tide
Smiting the ruin of all evil.
