Why should I seek permission
To utter mother language?
I have my own river
And I take bath therein,
I feel no need to take
Permission from anyone.
I take free air
From my own mango trees
And neem trees
Near my house.
Here it is my motherland,
And it is not under
Anyone's control and I
Declare each one is sovereign.
