A PLANT’S WORDS

 

YOGESH G. NAIR

 

Long ago, we felt

That the absence of freedom,

To roam about, and enjoy life,

Is really a limitation

For us.

But today, we feel

That it is a blessing

For we saw these men,

Who had this freedom,

To move about,

On all continents,

Fight for a country,

Or state of their own,

And their freedom is chained,

By many rules and regulations

And we saw many fight,

And die for a state, or country,

And drops of blood from them, have marred

The beauty of our leaves and flowers.
