Towards Freedom
by Pranab Ghosh / March 20th, 2022
The first man born
In the heaven!
The first woman created
In the heaven!
Craving for knowledge…
Who might be the
Instructor?
Satanic!
Paradise lost
Pining in the ‘cursed’
Earth
Men, Women and Children!
Let our today free us
From all the past shackles
Let Satan take a
Back seat
Let us march towards
A new freedom!
