Being Free

If you can walk your own walk,
and talk your own talk,
If you can run your own mile,
and even in plight, always wear your smile.

If you can dance on your own beat,
and can always be on your feat,
If you don't find luxury in your seat,
but keeps your cool, even in ever soaring heat.

If you can never be tired of being lone,
and can create your own masterpieces, even with few pieces of stone,
If you can do what need's to be done,
even if you are being backed by none.

If you can be a game changer,
instead of being an avenger,
If you can walk with a stranger,
and can be fearless in the face of danger.

If you are never afraid of looking younger than your age,
and lack of compassion never act as your cage,
If your action do not sprout from desire of a wage,
and if you can never be seized by a murderous rage.

If your mind don't dwell on days of yore,
and you are never afraid to loose your shore,
If you can jump from the edge of the mountain, in order to soar,
and to reach new heights, from where you can make a roar.

If you can hold everyone dear,
and greet them with a cheer,
If you can show them that you care,
and in your actions, you are always fair.

And if you can be like romantics,
and do things that are in nature, Hermetic,
And if you can live your life to the fullest,
and fight every battle with a new courage.

Then your life will be noetic,
and full of elements that are aesthetic,
and you will grow like a blossoming tree,
and you my friend, will for eternity be free.
