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.
