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. |
