Am I Free? The Straight Answer No Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Am I free?
The straight answer
Is a great NO.
I have no freedom of
Speech and expression,
My Constitution has given
This right, though.
With so many identities card
Including Aadhar
I am telling I am so and so.
Still, I am not getting anything
For my life and livelihood.
Am I free?
If yes, why then you have
Forced me to read and write
And to listen to foreign languages
Without any basis.
Where is my mother?
For you, my dear, she is mad.
YOu are not taking care, I know.
My land is barren,
My people are going to
Neighbouring states to work
As bonded labourers,
And I am not able to do anything.
Even I am not able to
Utter words, your so called supporters
Are torturing and trying to kill.
How can I say I am free?
I am not going to support you,
YOu are not committed to
This earth, this land,
The mothers and children,
And the languages of motherland.
