Humans Hunger For Freedom
Everybody hungers for freedom!
Freedom without boundaries, discipline or rules?
Crimes increase while humans get across the boundaries of freedom,
And it leads to deterioration of humans' moral value.
Is there a place to enjoy the total freedom in human realm?
There is none at all, so sorry for you.
But, there is a place that you could aim,
Its the eternity that you may be already known.
The world of total freedom that most of you aim,
But, thats no one could guarantee to this divine venue.
Purifying oneself is the only way to reach this divine realm,
The purified divine force will land you smoothly there to start life anew.
Thats the time you could truly enjoy the total precious freedom,
Hoping that youll be blessed and your dream will gradually come true.

An Apprentice's Song
On my exit today
Master
I recall with nostalgia
My first humble step
Into your intimidating workshop
Half-trepid, half-smiling
My feet trembling
And my heart racing
Contemplating the expected.
Your experienced eyes
Shot into my timid eyeballs
Like darts
Accurately hitting the bulls eye
I shivered within
And would have bolted
But for the assuring hands
Of my uncle
Resting warmly on my shoulders
He, with fatherly candour
Claiming with all pleasure
Told you to mould my future.
Worked to your plan
Your errands I ran
From your knowledge I tapped
Rejoiced when you clapped
Sad when your whips graced my back
With many a ruthless smack
Showing your mastery in the art
Dwarfing the energetic efforts
Of the senior apprentices.
All that is past now
For today I sing
Songs of freedom
Not from slavery
But from its similitude
Freedom from servitude
I sing a song
A song of freedom
Freedom to have an opinion
Freedom to act as a man
Freedom!
A new lease of life
The beginning of my future.

Calculated Risk Analysis
The rays enter the room
Illuminating it from within
Dawn breaks dispelling the gloom
This is the new found freedom..
The birds are chirping
The dogs are celebrating the new day
I stretch my bones and take in the fresh air
This is the new found freedom..
The happiness inside knows no bounds
I take a deep breath and look forward
With a smile and hope to this day
This is the new found freedom..
No more shackles no more chains
No more restraints to induce the pain
With a snap broken away
This is the new found freedom..
Time to throw out the old and bring in the new
Time to challenge the norm
Lay down a new path never traveled before
This is the new found freedom..
As I step out of the house with a jaunt in my step
Looking at the shadow left behind
Of days gone by
This is the new found freedom..

Freedom
A step to freedom,
If bitter bygones fade,
As deeds all done,
Now cannot be undone.
A step to freedom,
If detachment prevails,
Nothing to call mine,
Sign of a stable mind.
A step to freedom,
If equality perceived,
Decrease in suffering,
Experience of blessing.
A step to freedom,
If senses subdued,
Command with will power,
Command over laziness.
A step to freedom,
If struggle persists,
To escape bondage,
To enjoy liberty.
A step to freedom,
If human nature identified,
Contrast in being and acting,
Harmony of soul and body.
