Freedom Poem by Boishakhi Mitro

While u think of mankind, issues larger than life,

I continue to live in bondage!

The luxury to stand on my own feet,

To run, to embrace my longings..........

To feel the azure blue sky,

Inhale the morning breeze at my hearts desire, to fly.............

To exhale without, without having to watch my back,

To laugh, to smile, without being called unmaidenly!

To be able to make friends, without being termed, available!

To be free with freedom, is but a rare dream for me!

While you think of humanity, And matters more important in life,

I still wait, for free air, to fill my bonded lungs and survive.
