Freedom Poem by Pravat Kumar Mandal

FREEDOM
Pravat Kumar Mandal

It's true that we are chained inherently
I think none of us can deny the fact.
The freedom we enjoy apparently
Just a legal licence how we'll react.

We are enchanted by the praise of freedom
The poets do loftily in their writings.
They sing of the birds flying at random
In the sky the clouds freely floating.

We demand our freedom accordingly.
But alas! What they assess and praise is wrong
Birds are caged, clouds are obstructed hourly
And we blithely lend our lips with their song.

Freedom is chained and bound by certain rules
It should be used in life like useful tools.
