Freedom and Lockdown
/On the break of dawn I still lie on my bed
Listening to the chirping birds as the
Morn breaks the silence
After listening to a loudspeaker’s voice from a distant mosque
I count footsteps of my father
Walking inside his room, due to lockdown
Lockdown has come inside our house
It took away the freedom from our lawn
It made my father walk inside his room
Those steps I hear
Those steps I count
The sound I hear wakes me up
The blue azure of the morning sky opens
In my window and I look out.
