I Shall Always Be Free Poem by Shankaran Kutty

I Shall Always Be Free

Rating: 5.0


You can take away all my freedom
Or confine me in chains
You can sentence me to boredom
But my mind would always be free

Your heart may be filled with hate
No spot in there for me
Yet, I won't mourn my fate
For my mind would still be free

You can take away all my wealth
Leaving me to beg for a living
Rejoice at my poor health
Yet my mind would still be free

I may lose all I hold dear
Or let my life go waste.
But still you won't squeeze a tear
For my mind would still be free.

For me no one need care
No pity do I seek
My life I can lay bare
For my mind is always free

You can harm me or even kill
Or torture till life's end
But you can't take away my will
For my mind is always free

From this life I seek no gain
Save service of the Lord
I can suffer any pain
For my mind is always free

I seek you no longer near
For you have gone so far away
No retribution do I fear
For my mind is always free

The joys and sadness in this world
Wins and losses, tears and laughter
They can take away from your life
Never to enrich your life thereafter
Yet there is something no-one can touch
Which you can mould the way you want it to be
You can let it go, let it dream
Your mind should be yours, should always be free

The qualities of a stoic embedded in a person take him to a very high spiritual level as indicated by Lord Srikrishna through the discourses of Bhagwat Geeta. Thanks for sharing this poem with deep meaning and spiritual touch.10 + points.

Thank you sir for your kind words. If we can take control of our mind then no one can ever hurt us. I strongly believe so.
