Please, Set Me Free

Rating: 4.9


I was born free.
The world jailed me.
It gave me a name,
A caste, a faith, an aim
A citizenship, a language.
Thus, it did damage
My childhood, my youth
And taught me an untruth:
I am a social animal,
Civilised, powerful, adorable.
Caretaker of the planet,
Superior to crow, fish, rabbit,
The most peaceful being,
But, I go on killing
For creed, colour, race
Or for God's birthplace.
Unlike animals, birds, trees,
I am not at ease.
They breathe free, fly free,
On the land, over the sea.
Not needy of king or priest.
I envy everybeast.
I hate to be civilized.
Oops! I mean colonized.
Let me find true glee.
Please, set me free.
I hate to be mild.
Return me to the wild.
Society turned me bad.
Wilderness will make me glad.

What a beautiful poem. When we can all accept that the supposed differences between us are just conditions placed on us by society at birth then maybe we can make a way for the world to live at peace.

(....) The world is safety palace for human Human born free But everywhere chained by wild and vengeance teeth Everywhere the rules, regulations, creeds, cultures, scriptures Made by the opportunist human The hypocrite human governs the whole By the name of so called gods, helI, heaven And makes victim of slaughter each other So if human wanna feeedom from this havoc clutch Then everyone needs to know him/herself Needs to awake the true conscience of humanity
