Setting Them Free
To become a better human being my philosophy
Spearheaded by my father from when I was young
Who believed in giving back to society.
A Doctor by profession who spent his Sunday in
running a free clinic to heal the sick.
I helped him stick labels and markers on his
mixture bottles and grind the tablets for free.
My perception in life is even though a mere human
being
I can change a few lives, my father taught me
The underprivileged who need
free education and humanity .
Afraid to lag behind in this race
We forget where we are going and what we run
after.
Often not being satisfied at where we are.
I live by my own making and expectations and
never by the expectation of others.
Another line to cross, I have my final goals cut out
When I look in the mirror I should like what I see
And it brings a smile to my face automatically
Another step closer to help underprivileged
children to read and write I would agree.
For education can make them dream
give them wings and set them free.
