Go, Break the Shackles
Hurried meetings
Prying eyes
Many excuses
Umpteen lies
Tension and nervousness
Fear of being caught
Today wasted
Comfort in tomorrow sought
No place for those
With love smitten
Against social norms and laws
Both written and unwritten
Only solution, I say
Don’t run away
Take cudgels against
Oppressive society
Just like
Those freedom fighters did
There’s no point
Keeping love feelings
Under the lid
Go, break those shackles
Take inspiration
From 72nd Independence Day
Of your nation
To hell with those
Chains and fetters binding you
Are you getting my cue?
Proclaim aloud
Your love for each-other
Why bother?
The open sky beckons
Act, don’t just yearn
Its freedom for your nation
Your liberty long overdue
So, why can’t it be
Freedom for
The two of you?
