1.    Freedom Compromised. (Written in May-August 2019).


At last freedom has been compromised

In the land of the free and brave.

If only the laws were not revised,

I will run towards the foot of ‘Lady Liberty’ with hopes to be saved.

And now from the bridges of New York to New Mexico.

I can walk and talk freely in the home of the free and brave


And listen to a volcano of voices that will re-echo,

What the ‘Founding Fathers’ in their true and distinct spirit gave.


There is a call to maintain the statuesqoe

In the home of the free and brave.

Where a throng will be lining up in search of a life of warm embrace.

From all ages and all races, not expecting to be disgraced,

Like a migrant -

Or an immigrant,

Like an asylee -

Or a refugee,

I will run towards ‘Lady Liberty’ with assurance of being saved.


But now, I wish freedom has not been diluted

In the land of the free and brave

And the minds of some in the land are no longer polluted

With draconian laws, now made even more grave,

In the home of the free and brave.

And ‘We the People’ are not divided into them versus us

But united in peace, freedom and a common cause

In the home of the free and brave.
