Freedom, a state of mind, <br />Freedom, an illusion, <br />Freedom, a nonsense of lunatic <br />Until it is spiritual. <br />As long as we are slaves of <br />Our petty self-interests, <br />Our prejudice, <br />And our false ego, <br />We are not free. <br />We may celebrate the festival of freedom Hundred times, <br />We are still slaves. <br />The Independence Day marks <br />Material freedom <br />not <br />the spiritual one. <br />Unless we are spiritually free, <br />We are like sheep devoid of sentiments.<br /><br />Mohammad Akmal Nazir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-we-really-free/
