Freedom

We want freedom and want to become free, 
But we live in a cage and are afraid to flee.
We want peace of mind to become free 
But we can’t leave the cage full of luxury.
In freedom, we always want to be happy, 
But for this, we run only after money.
We want freedom so that we can move far away, 
But beyond our luxury cage, we can’t find a way. 
We want freedom so as to live our own way in life, 
But we are afraid of leaving our luxury hive.
