Freedom Day-Africa Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Freedom day-Africa
Friday,7th May 2021

If I am offered heaven
at the cost of freedom
I shall refuse the proposal
as a proud individual

freedom
if used with wisdom
it means 'misuse' seldom
it is not to be spoken randomly

freedom means a lot
great wars have been fought
but freedom formula is not comprised
it is a basic urge and not surprised at all

when you are born free
you should have free air
and seat under the tree
to enjoy, morning breeze prayers for thee

Let me congratulate the people of Africa
for them the only agenda is freedom
from foreign yoke or from local dictators
let the locals be granted freedom with an honour
