Phew!
I'm not a poet
Only I seem like a pen
When everything goes pale
The skies I paint...
With my finest words in pages

Halt it! I'm not a writer
For liberty, I write my writs;
Scream in scripts
Since I'm a silent sailor in this sphere
In a time like this,
I book my heart in my hands

You know me master!
I'm not a rebel or militant
I’ve not hidden myself
I’m a peaceful protester
Yearning for equal portions
From the land we both ploughed

I’m not a fighter!
Though I’m faired
My name is FREEBORN
I’m inspired by my freedom
Indeed, I’m not afraid
I just want to be myself:
The man and the myth

« return.
