Crashing Waves and Birds on a Tree


What in hell is freedom really?

I�ve got no clue, have never been free.

If I were, don�t remember it too vividly.

Childhood, maybe,

A time when I was, perhaps, relatively more �free�.

But there has always been,

and a constantly evolving one at that,

an image, a vision, an idea,

about what this elusive thing, called Freedom could be.


All youse imaginary notions of freedom!

Unlimited money to spend,

Power you just cannot breach,

And oh, a life of security and unending �happiness�!!!

(Err, did someone just say shopping???)

As for some poor wretched souls, nothing like death.

But ask a few people around, and for most it�s Choice.


I will pray to whomever I want!

Why can�t I study whatever I like?

I wish I had the choice to do that.

Or atleast something else, but not This.

Give me the freedom to do whatever I want!!!

Well,

What exactly do you want?


I�m sure you don�t know really,

And neither do I, but then.

I have a feeling of what it might be,

For me. Peace, and harmony.


Everything in this wonderful world of ours,

Is about two things � order, and chaos.

Control the world, we don�t. Change it, I can�t.

Forget about it, I must. In myself, I should trust.


Synchronized birds flying in vast blue skies,

Unimaginably still emerald green seas.

No emotion in the eyes, a hint of a smile.

A fleeting feeling, of freedom divine.
