my poems

Was inspired to write this poem after reading a Hindi poem from my school text. This is my second poem, the first being in Hindi posted in my mother's blog. With a little help with regards to the rhyming factor, I present to you this poem.

Freedom we seek

Freely up high in the sky we fly

When caged we seem to have lost our voice

Crashing inside the golden bars, as we try

Our wings we break with no other choice.

Flowing water is what quenches our thirst

Not when given in a golden bowl

Bitter lemon is not so cursed

Deprived of which we never feel whole.

In the bondage of golden chains

We forget our speed and flight

Hopping and skipping around the plains

Which in our dreams we saw it bright.

Our desire is to touch the blue sky’s horizon

Opening out like books to the sun’s rays

Never wanting to be caged like diamond

Our deepest desire never seem to raise.

All we want is a borderless sky

To hear our wings spread and flap

Never is it our longing to sigh

Breath does stop legs held in strap.

Deprived are we of the support of trees

Happy houses demolished why oh why

Please let us free to fly with ease

Open our cages and bid us goodbye.
