A right to choose
No one can take away my freedom
It has never happened or took place seldom
It has to be there by virtue of natural justice
It has been guaranteed by forefathers as promise
Man is born free so he must have his say
He has every right to choose his way
It may be applicable to any of the gender
Anybody who violates it can be termed as offender
I had wished to be a free bird
I wanted to run among the heard
It was to be an open sky with vast horizon
Not to be divided by any region or zones
Open frontiers with no restrictions at sea
Waves to strike at cost and no one to flee
Enjoy the sound with utmost silence
Natural scenes with winds presence
Birds were to fly with little noise
They had joy with enough choice
I had an urge to sing with good voice
I was determined to surge with good poise
Lions, tigers found their equal share
Nice atmosphere found no where
River flowed with calm water
All needs were allowed to cater
It is unique to breathe with fresh air
Head will zoom and raise the hair
Everything seems naturally fair
Air is thick but very clear
A word to keep and good to promise
Enjoy it full with not a moment to miss
I shall try to cherish as fulfilled dream
The sun may shine with bright beam
Freedom and thoughts got to go together
Synchronize well with season and weather
It may provide relief and breather
There is no tension and nothing to bother

True Independence Day
Sans sincerity, honesty and discipline
Freedom is nowhere to be found ever!
Corruption, malpractice and violence
Ever keep freedom at bay anywhere!
Birds enjoy freedom flying in open sky;
Fish enjoy freedom swimming in deep sea;
Lions and elephants wander as they wish;
Can we ever be free to do so...........at all?
If we are free as birds we enjoy freedom;
But are we really ablate to do so ever.....?
As Poet I have freedom of expression no one
Anywhere has as far as Poetry is concerned!
Man and woman should enjoy freedom ever
Free, frank and fearless as poets and birds are!
That day only the Independence day is true
And celebration of the day is joyful and real

Set free
Set free
I was bonded laborer
Always sad and never happier
Kept in chains and not allowed to move
I prayed almighty to set me free and remove
It is like dark dungeon
Secluded place like pavilion
You are confined alone
To spend the life in isolation
No one must be kept in bondage
To be set free is divine privilege
Slavery had been in practice for ages
Same condition even not liked by birds in cage
I saw green parrot in captivity
It forced me to remember days being suffered under barbarity
I opened the gate for parrot to flee
Bird was in confinement and not allowed to fly as free
I could witness energy in his wings
Special sound was originated when he tried to sing
As if lions roared in jungle but with mind sound in air
Parrot crossed over river and looked for some one to make pair
How can we chain someone against will?
Let it be birds, human beings or wild animals
All love freedom and free movement
Ever felt joy with happiness at that moment
Enjoy and feel freedom for all
Don't create hurdle or high scale wall
World is to see and enjoy
Not to suffer and make others to annoy

The light to go
I wished the light to go off never again
I had worried a lot as it was concern main
I was afraid of dark shadows in the night
The dark cloths were sending me in fear with no sight
The moon was slowing coming up in full size
It gave elegant look and beauty in aspect wise
There was not a little area where I could readily point out
Any thing with adverse feeling and talk about
We ran through open fields
The silver lines were appreciated and widely held
We were two in whole area to enjoy
She was in my arms with complete joy
She was carelessly hanging around
Her head was down on solder and inadvertently found
She was in complete agreement without a voice
I could see silence in zone without any noise
The leaves on trees made mo move
They were silently viewing it to approve
She was wise enough not to think about surroundings
It was natural move and secretly sounding
We were only two and none else was
In complete mood without feeling tense
Eyes were wide open to look at sky
Coming up with no surprise and naturally why?
I felt warmth in every move with coolness
Not to realize it would have been complete foolishness
Stars fell half way in sky at regular interval
It was as if brightening path at our arrival
We both knew it was an end of the winter
The summer was about to set in to completely alter
We may need to part as soon as it was over
The winter was nice refuge and provided fine cover
I heard her uninterrupted voice
It was her earnest wish and choice
To make the moon as witness and take pledge
To remain as one always and without any wedge
She was laid on grass and had no worry
I too was in complete harmony with no hurry
It was her redeeming night with readiness to make promises
Say per word to hear it without any single misses
I was not against her at all and endorsed
Nothing unusual to be done or forced
It was her kingdom today to be made open
With no restrictions and permission to reopen
Down the path moved river very silently
It was in total conformity which almost looked apparently
The water was making no sound to arouse any curiosity
It was the bless sing from nature and almighty
I took her hand and reminded her of cool night
Everything was moving as per her wish and was right
She seemed the natural reflection of original moon
As the flowers had not slept yet even though had full blossom

Natural Phenomena
The sea waves rises so high
With only aim to give high hope to fly
Even with so much helplessness and clipped wings
When birds watch intensely and sing
It is natural phenomena
Otherwise there won't have been fountain and flora
It is natural gift and no conspiracy
Nature has allowed you to enjoy with privacy
Why do rain come in time and dropp the shower?
Why earth is so eager to find an answer?
Why does she wait for it to fall gently?
So she can enjoy it with joy and silently
What does she conceive in gentle knock?
Complete attack is contained without any shock
Fertile seeds are given new lease of life to emerge
Come out in open with green color and surge
Nature allows you to mix and avail
Don’t curb your wish or curtail
It is natural to feel somebody’s company
This might have been felt by so many
Let us raise no doubt about nature’s ability
Let us find out the object with beauty
It will never disappoint us and show the way
Nature may pull you towards and not throw you away
It is like gravitational pull
It may attract you completely and full
It has its own rules to attract
This itself is real beauty in fact
Some of he changes we may not like
Its simple features may not strike
Yet it has all round show to prove
You may find its presence when move

Freedom Now
They throwed him in jail
And they kept him there
Hoping soo hed die
That his body and spirit would waste away
And soon after that his mind
But every day is born a fool
One who thinks that he can rule
One who says tomorrows mine
One who wakes one day to find
The prison doors open the shackles broken
And chaos in the street
Everybody sing were free free free free
Everybody sing were free free free free
Everybody sing were free free free free
They throwed him in jail
And they kept him there
Hoping his memoryd die
That the people forget how he once led
And fought for justice in their lives
But every day is born a man
Who hates what he cant understand
Who thinks the answer is to kill
Who thinks his actions are gods will
And he thinks hes free free free free
Yes he thinks hes free free free free
He thinks hes free free free free
Soon must come the day
Whe the righteous have their way
Unjustly tried are free
And people live in peace I say
Give the man release
Go on and set your conscience free
Right the wrongs you made
Even a fool can have his day
Let us all be free free free free
Let us all be free free free free
Let us all be free free free free
Free our bodies free our minds
Free our hearts
Freedom for everyone
And freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom now
Let us all be free free free free
Let us all be free free free free
Let us all be free free free free

At every moment
At every moment I die to rise again
Nothing can deter me not even pain
I may not work exclusively for gain
I may enjoy remaining with nature and getting wet in rain
That is exactly what goes around
New joy is in offing and always found
You may be seen loitering round
It may appeal and looks very sound
I may be simply lost with imagination
There may be lots of questions
I may think wise and equate
Confide to friends and relate
I am nature’s lover and love birds
I enjoy their language in nice words
Do they wish to convey something?
Have they to do it with anything?
They on scene with melodious voice
There is pleasure in their noise
They are in mood and ready to poise
It is preparation to go ahead and poise
If birds can leave nest in search for food
Why can’t I try to reach out for good?
They flock together and guide the path
Go quiet on surface of water and enjoy the bath
It is not quest for anything but only survival
They have their own way and attempts for revival
They will not only look after wingless new born
Though they may face the danger and easily torn
I should stay with what ever I have
I need to be bold and brave
If birds can do with self dependence
Why should I not go ahead without interdependence?
There may come success and failure
They may alter the course for sure
I must stay calm with composure
You won’t need anybody to reassure
Try to be as near as possible with truth
It may be useful and worth
Why you need outright conquest?
When you have tried your best
It is not bad to remain and live for self
Sea too is obsessed with treasure in shelf
What is use of holding it when can’t be taken to use
Help to create congenial atmosphere and irritants to defuse
You may live to see world again
It may be altogether different with gain
There may be joy and happiness without pain
Worries may disappear and take to back seat again
Live full life with strong zeal
Try to confine but not to conceal
Don’t lock your self but reveal
It may then prove as holy deal
Everybody is not blessed with fortune
Not all people will dance with your tune
It is not necessary that you may be offered with rose
You have the right to for it and choose

A good choice
I I wished her to remain with me for long
I miscalculated and proved wrong
She was not the right choice
I am suffocated with choked voice
The leaves cling to branches
Though they are closer by inches
They have created the position and place
As of now they present strong face
All natural objects are ruled by law
We do not find any lacuna or flaw
They loose the identity with loss of ground
When tree finds hostile environment around
We have inherited treachery and deception
That is oour blood from the inception
It differs in the mattter of adoption
Though we have many ways and options
She was free bird and preferred freedom
The females go for it but seldom
If there is no trust and equall opportuity
There may not be any use for its oontinuity
The idea itself was ill conceived
She had different ideas and not well received
She may boost sometimes of her beauty
I may feel so bad and take it as pity
The dream remained for brief
The illusion too came fast with some relief
I wished her bright future and parted
I was happy with life and quietly started
There is definite message for lovely couples
They got to believe in life to be very simple
It does not take you anywhere in isolation
You got to maintain good and healthy relation
I can certainly forgo certain things
If I find no relevance in something
It has to endure for good times to come
The presence of partner is always welcome

Go for stroll
Be earthly child
You may definitely find
Not only natural colors
But good humors too
Birds may be flying here and there
You may not think bad and dare
Lovely surrounding with nice atmosphere
Mind at rest with no more fear
Coolness
With so much fineness
What freshness on face
Peace and no chase
Everything is to be found at ease
New energy to release
No more noise please
Nothing to worry and nothing to tease
Little space with easy walk
Total silence with no more talk
Inhale fresh air and breath
Make it habit till your death
Know where you belong to
Life and facts remain true
Judge the course and action
Calm composure with no more reaction
Enjoy moment with happiness and pleasure
Settle for while and make it sure
Nature will guide you to reach an ultimate
Think of futile mission and its fate

Question Like
I have always hated the cage
It is darkest period of an age
How come one is imprisoned?
In solitary cell and confined
I find no answer
May be with fewer
How do you feel rain shower?
Do you ever realize its power?
In open and under sky
Any time venture out and try
Freedom, freedom you cry!
Birds with wings may elate and fly
Freedom is dear to all
Respect it with lovely call
Honor and see it is not compromised
Allow them to live as promised
I am for liberty and peace
Peaceful life to be spent at ease
No worry for being questioned
Liberty and freedom is not to be mentioned
Even release of tiny insect may give me joy
Is it not the real chance to look at and enjoy?
We are born free and must think on those lines
Everybody has to right to feel free and fine
If at all it is possible for me
I shall confine none and make them free
If freedom is desired by me and liked
Why at all it must stand disliked?
Let one day come for all to celebrate?
Enjoy under open sky and liberate
Shun the bondage and life under yoke
It is not the bad question but cruel joke
Liberate all those animals even
Let them be passionately driven
If I prefer tension free life under sky
Mind should not fight lots of questions like why

But use your freedom of choice
I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice

About a dog who found two bones
He picked at one
He licked the other
He went in circles
He dropped dead

Seems to be the rule of thumb

Warriors Pledge... (Conclusion)
well, i've heard the footsteps
of hard determined walkers.
lost in the din and the noise
of angry faceless talkers
been twice betrayed by love,
in my hour of need.
i've planted my thoughts,
the earth swallowed my seed.
i've torn down the idols,
and exposed the lies.
been to the place
where the last raven flies.
put names on the bodies
strewn in the ditch.
been called a fugitive
and a son-of-a-bitch....
i saw that which i hated
in the mirror before me.
found the cost of my slavery,
and set my heart free.
i plowed the last garden,
built a house with doors open.
kept struggling and fighting,
believing and hoping.
i've listened to silence,
and learned god's voice.
found that we are defined,
by daring and choice.
i'll say this one time,
and return to the ground.
we are what we give,
the touch and the sound....
we are what we give,
the touch and the sound...
amen!

Call for freedom
Call for freedom
~
My hearts talking
I try to drink it away
Silence the voice within
Tired of it repeating your name
~
It would be good for me
If only I could forget you
I’m not calling out for help
I’m calling for freedom
To be free of you
~
I could say this affection
Is undoing my work
Leaving me in an addiction
Just wanting to be with you
~
It would be good for me
If only I could forget you
I’m not calling out for help
I’m calling for freedom
To be free of you
~
You never gave me a look
That I could instantly see
How we may have a future together
I only saw what I wanted to see

It would be good for me
If only I could forget you
I’m not calling out for help
I’m calling for freedom
To be free of you
To be free of you
A call to freedom

Christmas Eve-(awaken by a Carol singer)
Five in the morning
I hear some noise
Open my eyes
Find out its a voice.
Voice of a man
He sings an old song
For others to enjoy
That's the Christmas tongue.
Tired, but done my best
For my dears around
Large smiles on their faces
Best time to be found.
Time to enjoy
Sing and dance
Time for all hearts
To open the fence.
No needed are keys
No chains nor passwords
Love and forgiveness
Peace of all sorts.
Giving a smile
Sharing good thoughts
That's the best Christmas
I wish to you all.

On the Innate Drive For What is Right
As life bled, martyrdom flared its buds.
Repression, red from irritation,
Rendered chinks and cracks; but thuds of
Armament - in cowardice - accomplice of the
Dictatorial blight thro' countless years -
Wreaked its retribution:
Yet hope began to bloom a coloured carapace
Enshrining their allegiance ‘gainst the
Terror in their tears.
And on! Splits yawned - breaches in the junta:
Flesh fought fanatical minds -
Bullets welcomed into open hands
And blessed with yearnings for morality:
Chiselled man-toys of death and mutilation
Couldn't repel the might of freedom
Surging at the bright horizon.
Crepuscular rays of purpose, body,
Flooded pandemonium with
Overwhelming clarity, direction -
Burdened clouds drifting wayward as the
Light channelled out a vision,
Intensifying focus on tomorrow -
Deepen their stride
As they home in to
What is theirs,
Rightfully theirs!

Restraint
And it is good
Freedom is not
Absolute.
I am free to
Tell the truth
And it is not true
I am not free
To tell false
And it is not true.

Freedom Isn't Free...
Who says our freedom is free? Not Me.
True, We are freer than most, but not enough,
that we should boast.
Before you say Freedom is free, stop and count the cost
of all the lives lost,
Freedom isn't free, when there's killing in our streets.
Freedom isn't free, to the Soldier that is waiting to be shipped over seas.
Freedom isn't free, with the pain, he or she is feeling inside, with
the thought of having to leave they're loved one's behind, and
it hurts so bad that it brings them to their knees.
Freedom isn't free, when your living in uncertainty.
Freedom isn't free, having to say good-bye, to a loved one that
is going off to war.Freedom isn't free, to a soldier who is on the front lines, knowing he or she, could die anytime.
Freedom isn't free when your lying in bed,
waiting and wondering, if you'll ever see your loved ones alive again.
Freedom isn't free, when a little child crys in the night,
for his or her Mommy and Daddy, and they're not there to hold them close, and comfort them, and to ease their fears, and wipe away they're tears. And all those in all the other wars, and the lives that are still being lost at this very moment.
Do you still say Freedom is free?
Freedom isn't free, when a Soldier is wounded in battle.
When news reaches, Family and friends at home,
And their told that their Soldier is wounded far beyond repair,
The loss and pain felt can not compare.
Freedom isn't free, with all those many Soldiers that wished they
had died because of all the pain in their broken up bodies.
Freedom isn't free, when your lying in bed, and you hear that dreaded
tap on your door.And you pray to God that you were only having a bad dream.
Freedom isn't free when you open the door and listen to the
bugle play, and you feel a sudden chill.
Everything goes still.
Freedom isn't free, when there is a Flag being draped
over a coffin, of a Brother, Sister, or a friend.
Freedom isn't free, when you think of all the children,
of the mothers and the wives, of Fathers, sons and husbands, whose
lives have been interrupted.
Freedom isn't free, when you think about the graveyard at the
bottom of the sea, of the unmarked graves in Arlington.
Who say's Freedom is Free? Not Me!

The Rescue
a little boy and a girl of seven
went to swim in the river at ten
after school was over
time to relax, time to enjoy
no more classes, vacation is here again
it was sunny, and the river was calm
fine weather, went to swim, they don't give a damn
suddenly it rained so hard
rushing sound from above
thunder and lightning seems to hit the place
waters from the mountain rushing in so fast
swimming as fast as they can
to a safer ground, where there were other friends waiting
ahh, the girl sighed in relief..she was saved!
the boy did not make it
his lifeless body was found few meters away from her
a frail, good looking boy, whose life could have been spared
if there were only people nearby for him to be saved
a promise was made to this little girl of seven
she will be a swimmer and a diver in the end
many years later, that little girl of seven
grew up to be a fine swimmer in her school
a promise was fulfilled, she became a volunteer
to a group of rescuers to save lives.
it was again a sunny day, and the weather was fine
with some friends and relatives, they went to the sea
in an island to explore it's wonderful site below
and lo and behold, they saw a little boy of seven
screaming and shouting for help, for his dear life
their small boat was turn upside down
the memories again in that awful Saturday at ten
brought back to this girl of seven
with all her might and with all her strength
she swam as fast as she can
got hold of his neck
and swam again to the waiting arms
of her companions
a rescue.. a life was saved! a small gesture
a promise made by the little girl was fulfilled
i could not imagined..that i have done this
for so many years, it was there in my memories
in my heart..a memorable event..
because that little girl of seven was me.
Thank you for reading one of my most memorable
event that happened in my life when i was seven years
old..

Freedom Song
I sing for Freedom, from now on
I touch,
I see,
I hear,
I breathe,
I taste
“Freedom Freedom”
The sea and her waves sing “Freedom Freedom”
The ebb and the flow take me by the hand and dance once and again,
Rise and fall,
Up and down
That’s the rhythm of life
That's the rhythm of our dance too
To the rhythm of the Freedom Song they feel good,
I feel nice, I feel free
The tune was made by birds
Do,
Re,
Mi,
Fa,
Sol,
La,
Si
They compose
The Azure makes the song more and more splendid
The Great Smoky Mountains sings too Freedom Freedom
The sunbeam increases the song rhythm
The soft breeze makes the leaves clap,
Unconsciously my body keeps shivering
All flowers smile and sway on the rhythm of the Freedom Song
Freedom Freedom that’s all I feel,
That’s all they say, that’s all they sing and tune
What great moments! ! !
