When I was born <br />I could recognize my mother <br />She introduced me to my father <br />To my brothers and sisters <br />They introduced me <br />To uncle and aunts <br />I was told <br />What to do and what not to do <br />My knowledge of right or wrong <br />Came from them <br />Then came the school <br />Teachers told me, <br />Two plus two is four <br />And so on <br />What they gave was education <br />They told me <br />Nobody asked what I wanted to do <br />What I liked and what I disliked <br />When I grew up <br />I found myself <br />Chained in should and should not <br />Right and wrong <br />As told by whomsoever I met <br />I could never do what I wanted to <br />I hated and respected people <br />Because I was told to <br />I feel chained by do’s and don’t’s <br />I want to be a free man <br />Break the shackles created by others <br />Think and do what I want to <br />Not to be guided by others <br />Make my own rules for my life <br />25-04-2011 <br />755-175-04-11<br /><br />Dr.Rajendra Tela,Nirantar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-i-was-born/
