No Longer Caged

By Ashish Khanal

I'm lying down in this warm ground tonight with moist atmosphere, For I don't have no place to go to feel more safe. I can feel the serenity of soil, and rage of the sky, The earth feels like mama's lap and the rain a lullaby. I know my pain is fading away, for I feel none. You will still struggle for happiness, but I shall already be gone, Gone far beyond the happiness of riches, the satisfaction of violence, the lies of better life, and beyond all the rules that you've made, Because I now realize the truth, I can feel the love, I have found my peace, And I am no longer caged.
