Born Free! Poem by RAJ NANDY

Born Free!



BORN FREE!

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
Our body is dross, perish it must!
But a sensitive and a praying soul,
Sees through this façade, a ‘maya’, –
beyond earth’s control!
It breaks all fetters to get uplifted you
see,
Such a soul is forever born free!
