Poem Title:
Poem
NOTE: I have placed this Poem as a Video Poem also on http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=100001219732381 [ This Poem is dedicated to Freedom of Expression and Tibetan Dharma Guru Shri Dalai Lama to support his struggle for the cause of Freedom of Expression ] IMP. NOTE: Now the Poem cum Song "Take Me Away but..."can be heard on my Radio Air Play Radio Station of Radio Jango.com in 'Ravindra K kapoor Radio' Take me away but I promise to sing a Song Take me away from such a place, Where feelings and emotions, cannot be freely expressed. Where new thoughts and ideas are crushed, By the rod of power and corrupts. Where mind do not get the opportunity to reveal, its vast sea of beauty and varying colors. Where love never flies freely in the sky, while touching the unexplored lofty heights, and wings of Poetry are nipped in the buds, before they bloom and spread their smiles. Where wind do not flow, while touching the flowers and buds, Where the butterflies do not have the freedom, to show their varying moods and colors. Where faiths have lost their grandeurs and glow, and shrines are converted into suffocating barracks. Where love has lost its magic of moving a heart, to sing a song and dance on the call of its soul, Where a vast sea of humans live, without the freedom of expression. Take me away from such a land and place, Where people live in chains under iron curtains. I promise I will come back to this land one day, when the breeze will flow freely touching every heart, When its people will have the freedom to fly on their wings, I promise I will come back, to such a place one day, When animals too would move without fear in their hearts, and birds would be free to fly anywhere in the sky. When the morning dew would greet the new rising Sun, By glittering without fear, its silver and golden beams, When flowers and buds would freely spread, their alluring wings and fragrance in the air. When the human mind would be free to explore and express, its ideas and colors on the canvas of paper. I promise I will come to such a land one day, to Sing the song of joy and mirth. Ravindra Kanpur India 27th Aug. 2011
