We are free, truly free!

Listen, we are free
Free to live a free life, to live in freedom
Without your tyrannical disgust and gnarls
Free from your dim and oppressive confines
Away from your heartless orders of steel
No more untamed swords to hurt mankind
Unseal from those callous ordeal

Oh yes, we are free
To enjoy the radiance of the sunshine
Savor the scenery of life and nature
Stretch our hands to the laughter of the wind
Relish the sun dance majestically on the sea
Watch the dolphins play and sing
Delight in the birds, flowers and trees

I are really, really free
Never again to be held captive
Lost inside your den of maliciousness
Surrounded by pickets of your viciousness
Drifting in rivers of tears and misery
Alone, sad, cold and in fear
All sheer envy and inordinate selfishness

I am absolutely free
To contemplate without your prying eyes
Pause and smile with all my heart
Ingenious, creative and inspiring gaiety
Tango with compatriots and friends
Illuminating a big ray of hope
Splendid beauty with sweet serenity

At last, at last, we are free
It is our rights to live a free and creative life
A right from God that humans live in freedom
We have fought and will fight for our rights
You have lost, never ever to win
Defeated and languishing with a fixed grin
A lesson of envy, betrayal and hate is gained

At the End of A Journey

Here, at the end of this journey, we stand
With memories beyond mountain steep
Bruises, disappointments, detours
Trails, buried deeply inside forever
Portrayal of strength and love

Beneath the stars and shadows of the sun
Side by side; you and me always
Your strength you give freely
Unrelenting, when hopeless looms
My guide, when I linger in doubt

You have taught me a thing and two
The value of confidence of others
Beautiful and most valuable asset
Sublimates and enriches every task
Amid roughness and serenity, hope beckons

With you, I eagerly liven up every day
Forever clinging to what's ahead
Not stonewalled by the dim and dense past
Nor paused to wrestle back in fear
And never turned away by qualms

It's like a dream; me and you, a team
You are always there, at my side
No time to lament what’s lost
Wearily leaving fixed imprints
Everyday; faced with a challenge or thrill

Here, at the end of another voyage
Know that I delight in the gift of your company
And so, this day belongs to you
Underneath your happiness is my pride,
And it shall ever be the base of my strength

Rejoice also for what lies beyond today
The sunrise and sunset of the new and the old,
Gripped with pride in all that you have given me
I will not bid farewell to the day nor the night
For moon and stars are unfolding; a new day begins
