such bravery

by @devyani-mahajan

‘freedom is a state of mind’ Wars fought Wars lost Freedom gained Freedom lost. The mind is almost devoid of peace, When a beast sits entrapped inside. It is like two magnets of the same charge. Conflicting and warring, Trying to meet at a certain point. Barbed wires of suppression blunt knives of oppression The head is a place of chaos full of: ‘I’m guilty’ ‘No you are not’ ‘I’m too proud’ ‘no you are not’ The oppressor just mollifies the pain of the suppressor It is too weak to overcome it. The head then bursts And out flow tears, tears in a million shades For they signify such different sorrowful tastes The person, he sighs An empty mind Peaceful mind War fought War won Freedom lost Freedom gained
