OF ROMANTIC LIFE AND EMANCIPATION

CATEGORY

You cannot romanticize revolution

Unless you’re truly in love with freedom:

Freedom, like life—mould in pain and joy.

 

Like life, freedom leaves stains of joy

And scares of pain—memories of the struggle;

And is the trophy of the won battle.

 

The liberation journey has not been

Without its pot-holes and bumps;

Praises to the generation before us,

Who filled and smoothed out much:  Who

Did so much more with less

So we with so much more would have less to do.

 

Forget not, we still have debts of the sojourn

To smooth out so that the following generation

May likewise have much less to do with so much more:

 

You cannot romanticize liberation

Unless you’re truly in love with freedom:

Freedom, like life—mould in pain and joy.

 

Like life, freedom leaves stains of joy

And scares of pain; may the imprinted memories

Continue to sustain us in the remaining journey.

 

Remember, life’s a winding stairway; full of challenges

Around each and every turn—challenges to be conquered.

And as we climb her stairway, let us ever be mindful:

Crystal stairs are fragile and Sisyphus choices, defeating.

Nice presentation mlowe5; freedom is such a wistful word softly spoken and rarely heard, because it is a vision so delicate and fragile it often crumbles when it is challenged. Well done piece
