Freedom Poem by Shaikh Ayaz

Freedom



Who can say there is no freedom here?
Jackals are free,
Flies are free,
Here the intellectuals are free,
Poets are free to hold devotional recitations on television,
The farmer is free,
He can pick out line from his head or not,
Everybody is free on this land cracking-up
Where snakes hide in the crevices
And wolves dig out dens for their cubs.
