Freedom
Feel the freedom at last,
Ramble freely in free world,
Free from body,
Free from dreams;
Was always enslaved by duties,
Until perched in body shell;
Dreams and longings,
Persuaded always,
To be this, achieve that;
Religion and social bindings,
Always suppressed,
Clenched my movements;
Captivated mind towards the onus,
Kids and kin were always in mind;
Never was free for my own life,
Always served as babe and mom,
Until destitute old age;
Once lived for kids and kin,
They too distanced one by one;
Lived all alone in lonely life,
Until body, mind abandoned;
Away from agony and pain,
Flow like clouds;
No end, no shore,
Only freedom as nightingale,
Frees from master's prison cage;
