Diptanu Chakraborty
India is celebrating 75th Independence Day this year. We, the KolkataFusion team are honoured to present to you a poem by our Guest blogger, Diptanu Chakraborty. The kid has not only understood the meaning of freedom but has beautifully put it in words. COVID-19 has put shackles on our freedom and we are dying to go out. How the country must have felt when it was under the restrictions of foreigners?

When I can enjoy freedom
I have no need of staying home.
I get to go outside, get to have fun
Until the day is done.
Covid has made my life worse
My freedom has gone, what a loss !!
The wind runs merrily,
Pulls along the old clouds crookedly.
The streams surf speedily,
The birds chirp splendidly.
They are all enjoying freedom,
But I am missing out, in boredom.

If this is how I feel now
I wonder what pain people felt somehow
200 years of sadness and captivity
The freedom fighters fought for eternity

Some got killed, yet fought bravely
Mothers, fathers, people mournedP sadly
Our heroes are no more
But still their souls live in us
We need to be in peace and not make fuss.
