Freedom? Poem by Usha Pisharody

Freedom?
Is that what you want?

Freedom!
From what?

From
Shackles of responsibility?
But then,
Isn't freedom responsibility?

From
Bonds of love and pain?
Ah!
Isn't that what frees you
From yourself?

Freedom, please,
You say,
From all Earthly Dimensions!

Sure, you Can!

Just pay the price-
The price of a Life:
Lived Well! !

Accept responsibility;
Live, Love, Feel-

And that,
You'll see-
Will set you free!
