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!
