Man is born free but in shackles everywhere
Some are physical
Some are psychological
To free oneself from physical
Sometimes is just like a child’s play
But the fetters
From which worse is better
Are difficult to tackle
Because many a times human mind is so fickle
Call it pretence
Or reasons absence
In the name of civility
False show of inner nudity
Where the words like the conscience,
Ethics, conduct, moral and values
Are found in books
Not in hands
But dusted in racks
One rule for others and another for our self
The mind made manacles result in debacles

- Comment from author about the poem: A man is born free but in chains every where. Though we talk about freedom in different forms like freedom of expression etc. we never bother to free our-self from the pretense and sham.the real liberation lies in freeing oneself from attachment and negative traits like jeolousy, hatred, greed, etc. This are mental bondage which have to be broken, or else they will breed stagnating, vegetating our life like pests.

Hi Sandhya, I really enjoyed reading your poem, and you are right of course that mankind is shackled in so many ways, it is down to each and every one of us to throw off those shackles and live as we perceive NOT as we are perceived!. A nicely flowing piece of free verse, it is both intriguing and emotive in its content. Excellent work , keep it up! BF
