Freedom and captivity...

Freedom

A bird fluttering in the air
Spreading its wings, flying high

A river, flowing gracefully
No worries of meeting the sea; death is nigh

Wildlife in the forest
Left to be on their own

Trees and plants here and there
Out of scattered seeds grown

A man devoid of shackles,
Having liberty to act and think

What have I described here??
FREEDOM, u will answer in a wink...




Captivity...

A caged bird
Unable to spread wings, unable to fly

A river obstructed by a dam
It has been forcefully killed, SIGH!!

Animals put in cage
beaten, and not taken care of

Bonsai of trees,
Their roots and branches cut off

A man, held in chains of barriers
NO self thoughts, no self acts
Thinking someone else's thoughts
NOT aware of the real facts

You also know, what this is named
Captivity this is, for exploitation, this is aimed..

wrote this in college during a FREE lecture..
Inspiration for writing about freedom came from a friend's diary which was a RELIANCE diary and there were paintings of the very theme i.e. freedom
and later wrote the opposite, thinking about the next lecture.. that is captivity..
hope u like both..
