Freedom!

 Form the tiniest ants, who have no words.
To the big and small animals and birds.
The only thing common in this whole animal kingdom.
Is the very intense love for freedom.

A bird captivated in a cage,
would struggle and show its full rage.
And keeping most of its body outside the bars,
it would try its best to get out and reach for the stars.

An ant captivated in an inverted bowl,
constantly moves about without fail.
Until it finds a small hole,
and then to its freedom, it sails.

 ***

This love for freedom is also seen,
in the so called human-being.

 The poorest and the richest countries,
have always wanted to be free.
For which-on everything, they happily agree.

Thus it is very truly said that,
“If not in this world of continents seven.
It is better to rule in hell than serve in heaven.”
