Not only that we sometimes do things worse than the colonial masters. Take sedition. UK has long scrapped these laws. But we still persist with it, in one form or another to curtail individual freedom. We sometimes wonder if only the colour of the skin of the masters has changed.

This practice is so prevalent worldwide! Even the best ideals are confronted with it. Each individual, every generation and society’s collective force has to stand up against this exploitation. A very thoughtful poem. Thank you for sharing and thank you so much for your recent comment on my poem.

CLONED SET UP LEFT BY COLONIAL RULERS DAMAGED OUR INTERESTS AND TOO ASPIRATIONS.. TIME HAS COME NOW TO FREE OURSELVES FROM THEIR ALL THE LEFT BEHIND SHACKELS.........yes, time has come now to free ourselves. A brilliant poem is nicely executed. Thanks for sharing.

Freedom is getting liberated from other's excessive control..... also be able to free ourselves from the clutches of their unholy influence! We should never allow ourselves to be the clones of our colonial masters! A poem exhorting each one to have independent thinking!
