Free bird-Poet
The poet is not a free bird
he needs to find words
he can't chirp the way bird does
he needs to be responsible to choose
no doubt, he has domain
and remains in full control
his fancies cross the border
and speak louder
the poet knows where to land
where to end his theme
where to raise the banner of revolt
and how to face the blue from the bolt
he is subject to torture
and faces censure
They put his articles under observation
and sometimes faces deportation
if they find him not observing the local rules
They keep him under surveillance
They take him to custody for defiance
and they pronounce the sentence
this happens in extraordinary circumstances,
when he cannot rectify his past mistakes
otherwise, he has the privilege of being praiseworthy
and this has been taken as pride for the country ...
