Thought
On nation flags blood red is seen
Blue for time and land as green
For freedom fought on battle field
Stripes shout “No!” to slavery yield
White for peace and equal share
A proud and independent air
Thought out symbols all provide
Ideals by which we should abide
Flags wave freely and exclusive
Liberty beckoned remains elusive
Declarations of freedom but lies
Bound still by one thousand ties
Like tethered calf in field of grass
No scope to roam or freely pass
Feels free not knowing any better
Struggles not to untie the fetter
Man’s quest for liberty not in vain
Driven from thirst and hurt of pain
Freedom’s way in hallowed verses
Applied to mind, bondage reverses
Five locked chains keep us enslaved
Diligently release - be free - be saved
Prayer
O Lord, while my sentiments seem noble, in practice they will not give me total freedom. Thou art full, free and perfect. Bestow on me all faith, fearlessness and freedom.
