Freedom Poem by Runita R Menezes

To follow the path untrodden before,
To want much less and give up much more,
To pray that much harder and have more faith,
To have no venegence, malice or hate.


To be less afraid of the unforeseen strorm,
To make meaningful relations as you go along,
To offer comfort in every way you can,
To become more humane and less a man.


To be able to live on your own terms,
To have no regrets and a belief that affirms,
To live each day as if it were your last,
To be in the present with no cares from the past.

To be able to leave the materialism behind,
To be unafraid to face the perils you may find,
To follow your own path towards uncertainity
That’s what if feels like to be ABSOLUTELY FREE
