The Cloned Freedom Fighter From India.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi
The Cloned Freedom Fighter From India..
What is the use of having too much freedom,
When half of the population suffers in silence,
When the middle class struggle to hide their torn shirts,
When the average height of the children gets reduced,
When the nutritional foods are not easily available,
When people are forced to sleep with mosquitoes,
When the rationed food is cheaply adulterated,
when the system is so corrupt, not to differentiate,
when one part is under flood and another in drought,
When the students are left to study under candle lights,
When educational institutions, not function with societies,
When the fools are selected as the politicians and leaders,
We are not free at all; we are tied down and we are still slaves.

it.s not too much freedom. we are still from the slumber. I am reminded of Poet Bharathi's Nenju porukuthilaiye.Freedom] we got it over the platter; not thro blood shed. We got only political freedom; ] not social and economic freedom from the usurpers. Our anguish/heart pouring and looking for that messiah and Veedial]? \ I fully endorse Alexander Popes we deserve that government.. because we have chosen; we tacitly do it; Half of the population sufferi in silence. nice theme. A flame to us to ignite. Please do craft with metaphors too.
