FIRE FOR FREEDOM

a poem

FIRE FOR FREEDOM

 

Holidays are for indiscipline

Time becomes stormy and choppy

I squash hours into minutes

Witches help me in the magic

To make a feast of moments of sloth

School fades into forgetting

 

Apple in the garden sweeter than ever

Golden mangoes sweetie and pithy

Never mind rusting books in the corner

Summer is for comics and pogo

Let science and art wait

Till the next monsoon

Of teaching and learning

 

In the liberty filled eyes

Moon dons a charming hue…

Fire fire everywhere…

Fire for freedom
