The Spirit of Freedom
by Pranab Ghosh / August 16th, 2020
The spirit soars
Beyond drudgery
Beyond death.
The spirit soars
Beyond shortcomings
Beyond failed dreams.
The spirit soars
Beyond poverty
Beyond hunger.
The spirit soars
Beyond malnutrition
Beyond lack of education.
The spirit soars
Beyond all that
Hold us back…
Into the world of
Freedom where
Free speech, free
Education, free
Healthcare rule
The roost…
Into a democratic
Free universe where
Man handholds
Man to survive.
Let the spirit soar
Beyond lies and
Into the truth
Let the spirit soar
Beyond darkness
And into the light.
Let the spirit soar.
