Unnatural light
giving children fright
as hunger takes its bight
and the father sits tight
friendly darkness, unfriendly neighbour
convincing each other of their labour
Praise the North, despise the South
Everything done with an empty mouth
nothing to envy, everything to fear
as the officer prowls with his watchful ear
The beginning is close, the end is far
Freedom is waiting, to heal this scar
Freedom is waiting, to heal this scar. Freedom will heal minds of many filling new light. Fright will go far and light will definitely smile. An amazing poem is shared on sympathy and freedom. Welcome to PoemHunter.....10
