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?
