Where Is Freedom My Dear! Poem by KAMESWARA RAO CHELLAPILLA

Where is freedom my dear! where is freedom in the world?

Can you be free from emotions and joy,
Can you be free from guilt and Jealousy,
Can you be from your pig headed ego and your false pride,
Where is freedom my dear where is freedom in your own world?

Where is freedom my dear where is freedom?

Can you be free from your body,
Can you be free from your mind,
Can you be free from your baffling thoughts,
Can you be free from your disturbing desires,
Can you be free from bad dreams,
My dear where is freedom in your world
Where is freedom -

Can you be free from your bad habits of drinking and smoking,
Can you be free from your tendency of always criticizing others,
Can you be free from your dishonesty and double standards,
Can you be free from lying and abstain from cheating others
on several fronts.

Where is freedom my dear where is freedom in your own world
Rightists, leftists and centrists have landed us all no where-

Can you be free from your cast and religion,
Can you be free from your color, race and region,
Can you be free from your own soul until your death?

Bias is a sub-conscious thing, it breeds from within.

It is like your jealousy- distributed in
every atom of your body and mind,
Where is freedom in your own world?
Where is freedom my dear!

'Rights activism' is a pure political and slogan activity,
It gets life and death from its own politics within.

Real freedom is a myth my dear!
Real freedom is a myth.
