F.R.E.E.D.O.M




I Speak My Mind, Be It In Any Language I Like,

I Choose My Vocation, My Career, My Way of Life,

I Decide If I Want To Earn Money In Black Or White...

I Vote, Whether For Policies That Support My Beliefs Or

Because Of Promised Food To Fill An Empty Belly...

I Travel Anywhere I Like, Be It Here Or A Place Out of Sight,

My Religion Is The One That Feeds My Soul.

I Have The Freedom to Do As I Like,

For Democracy Has Given Me The Strength To Fight For My Own Rights...

But For All That I Have & All That Can Be Mine,

Am I Truly As Free As The Peace Loving Doves That Fly..

Evils Of Nepotism Or Organized Crimes, Of Poverty & Unemployment Alone Do Not Hinder True Independence in Life,

But Bigger Are The Sins of Anger, Greed, Obsession, Deceit & Hate,

The Stains Of Which, Once Absolved, Let Me Rise Like The Sun In New Dawning Light,

It Is Only Then, That I Can Call It Real Freedom,

Freedom of My Soul, Heart & Psyche ,

For It Is My Birth Right As Part of Mankind...

F.R.I.E.N.D.S


As We Travel Down The Mysterious Road Called Life,
Often We Come Across Lives That Touch Us Deep Inside...
Guiding Us Through The Mystifying Paths Of Love Lost And Broken Hearts,
Helping Us Get Back On Our Feet As We Stumble Down in Self Doubt…
Protecting Us Against The Torrent Storms Of Failures And Misgivings..
A Shield of Strength and Full of Selfless Giving..
These Blessed Souls…Whom We Meet In Our Journey..
Might Get Separated At Crossroads of Time,
But They Leave A Poignant Print in Our Thoughts and Mind..
For They Know You Better Than You Know Yourself,
And Would Always Be A Part of Your Innermost Self...
That’s Why They Are Called Friends…
