Freedom Shall Be Mine Poem by Abhishek Shah

I shall be free when I will try to be free..

I shall be free when I stop paying extra 1000rs to the TC to secure a seat in train..

I shall be free when I stop paying 50rs to traffic police to skip the fine for not wearing an helmet..

I shall be free when I stop throwing empty water pouch on street..

I shall be free when I not only I say all religions are equal but also stop saying that mine is the best..

I shall be free when I stop differentiating people by boundaries, whatever they might be..

I shall be free when I don't mind sharing a seat with a person presumably 'lower' than me..

I shall be free when I not just care about my right to express but everyone's..

I shall be free when I stop calling politics a gutter and get inside to clean it..

I shall be free when I stop calling politicians thieves and accept the blame for electing them..

I shall be free when I stop cursing the system and try to mend it..

I shall be free when I realize that my right to vote is actually my duty..

I shall be free when I stop comparing and start improving..

I shall be free when I stop talking about problems of this country and start taking them as my own..

I shall be free when I stop saying, ' They should've done this.' And start saying, 'If not them then i will do this.'

I shall be free when I not only say, 'India is my country.' But also say, 'It's my home and am proud of it'..

I shall be free when I take the responsibilities of my own action..

I shall be free when I will not just speak my pledge but mean it too..

I shall be free when I don't just support likes of Anna but be one too..

I shall be free when instead of just writing such articles biannually, I shall implement it for a lifetime..

I shall be free when I will be worthy of being an Indian..
