Born Free Poem by Khirod Dalpati

BORN FREE

Under the deep blue sky
Where stars twinkled at night
In a lonesome country side
At the dawn of the light;
A cry of a Child was heard
Flowing in the cool breeze
In the humble cottage lay
Was the child - Born Free.
Did he knew the life
That he was to live?
Things he would aspire for
And that he has to give?

The eyes of innocense
That he had begotten
The miseries that lay ahead
The life lived and forgotten;
Filled with the energy
And enthusiasm to press ahead.
Unknown of the chains
Before the path that are laid.
Not knowing the life
That he was to live,
Things he would aspire for
And that he has to give.

The poor child - Born Free
But everywhere with chains;
With many do's and don'ts
Born to live with pains.
