Poems on Being Free

That’s Freedom

A bouncy stride,

Unhappiness set aside,

Getting rid of pride,

That’s freedom.

A happy heart,

A resounding fart,

Do not what’s been taught,

That’s freedom.

Gazing with love,

At the white dove,

Soaring up above,

That’s freedom.

Thinking of You,

In all I do,

Being true,

That’s freedom.

• By Subhash

I am free.

I have to study – so I am not free.

When I play, I am free.

But not fully, I can’t make mistakes.

Wrong moves and penalty I must take.

So, to do the right thing, I am free.

Being able to do anything we want, is freedom.

In this world, nobody has freedom.

We have to work under someone,

We can make choices, but not every one.

So, to do the right thing, I am free.

You are free to do the wrong thing.

But to do it, you will have to give something.

You should not do it because you will have to suffer.

If you do, you will turn into a duffer.

So, to do the right thing, I am free.

Only God has freedom.

So God is freedom.

Karma means what you have to do in your Dharma.

So, to do the right thing, I am free.
