The Song of Swatantra

Swatantra is not just about the title of the poem. It’s not just another Independence poem. It’s about the motherland, the land, the mother, you and me, and us all together. Hope you find yourself in Swatantra, become one and feel free from all boundaries and conditioning.
This poem is an attempt for you to seek Independence from within. To ask yourself every now and then if you are really free? What binds you? What makes you feel Independent?
Do you feel swatantra at the soul level? If yes, then don’t shy away from singing this Song of Swatantra, happy & high! If not, just ask why?
Let’s own & celebrate Independence every day, consciously 🙂
Happy Independence Day 🙂
I can be the barren land-isolated or a fertile field-decorated deep inside lies my untouched soul the essence of being immortal From dust I become-to end into the dust, a cycle of pretend in ‘tween, a soul-free, identity independent singing the song of freedom, eternally coherent The shackles of your conditioning never do they define my being I stretch, I flow, I change yet forever glow in the gentle breeze, even in a stormy blow In lying bare or in clothing finery naked truth being my only accessory, I pride myself on telling my history for in the roots of this land lies my glory I might be your survival food or savouring feast Yet don’t you dare label me beauty or beast Neither food nor feast, neither beauty nor beast I’m the solitary soul you know the least I’m the universe I’m the atom My spirit undivided in a stratum It’s not in you to bind me For I’m free, I’m free, I’m free From dust I become-to end into the dust, a cycle of pretend in ‘tween, a soul-free, identity independent singing the song of freedom, eternally coherent I’m the universe I’m the atom My spirit undivided in a stratum It’s not in you to bind me For I’m free, I’m free, I’m free I’m free I’m free I’m free
