How Long... Poem by dipak adhya

How long will you confine me?
How long will you show me fear?
How long will I pray to be released?
How long will you reign upon us?

Like a caged bird I have been
Flittering my wings
Day and night
There's no light to fly on
But willingis cropping up
To go out
And there's blocked door.

Everyday I watch from my windows
The roads are running with a few masked men,
The sealed vehicles,
And frontline soldiers are there
To regenerate.

Oh God! Let us release
From this grotesque cage,
I want to roam beyond limit
Only to feel a sunny day.
