Free Bird

want to wave my fingers
to feel the air
want to raise my hand
to catch beyond
want to tap my feet
to the beats
want to jump up
with all my zeal
but tied am I
with the rules
but tied am I
in this school
but tied am I
among the people
who are too tied,
they hate free birds

"but tied am I
among the people
who are too tied"

these lines say it all....
m.s. said…
"they hate free birds."
because they are afraid to be one.

Agar chahati hai duniya,
dekhna hamari udaan ko, to pahle aur uncha kare,
apne aasman ko!

Nice creation,
Just be tied to the joys o'life(in your own desired terms), and move like a FREE BIRD

"among the people
