Freedom Cry .................................

FREEDOM CRY

The river wanders free
Birds from tree to tree
More whispers, less song
Oh freedom! Hear our cries!
Our expectant petitions
Echoing across the harsh desert
We came, we fought, and we bled
Millions lied, were lied to
We cried, were fried in our own lies
Many have unjustly died
We could shed rivers of tears
Or eat each other alive in vengeance
Not a single soul trusts another anymore
As more lies come with the winds
We are paranoid and traumatized

They split our tongues
Like that of a Cobra
Now we speak in division
As we slumber on sleepless pillows
We are trapped in a chainless bondage
Fate glares with its grotesquely veiled face
Silhouetted on a mosaic of malice and mischief
Preying on our deficient position
Only the sympathetic yellow moon
Smiles consolingly, empathetically
Peeping through the clouds on the night sky
Smiling at Annaba and Cape Town
Smiling at Alula and Dakar
When will we have the freedom
To return her gay smile?

Assalam alikum
an eye opener
or a true mirror
a really nice sharing
still we fail to see
the pain , the sorrow, the wrong
or rather we don't want to see
we cry n hear the cry for freedom
but still fail to change our fate
which lies in our own hands
in the open hands of our prayer
I pray this year our prayers are answered
n we'll see a better nation
a better Pakistan
a better muslim ummah
INshaAllah

Assalaam-O-Alaikum

Thank you for posting this topic. After reading this poem I am bit confused about the freedom you are taking about. As far as I could understand through this poem that its a gay freedom in South Africa. In 2006 the gay of South Africa demonstrated and are fighting for their rights to have gay freedom in the country and this poem rightly reflects that.

Please clear my doubt as I have very disturbed feeling after reading this poem!!
