Third Play : Lost Freedom

“The freedom yearning boy…Pyre

Which shall he choose?

The dimly lit atelier or the vast plains?”

The tired man’s back filled the boy’s view

“Remember this child,

One day, yer sister will be taken

To other man’s house

One day, this old man will pass

Meeting yer mother beyond Oblivion

When that time comes,

Ye shall inherit this shop

Find yerself a good wife, son

Who give birth to healthy boy

And one day…me sure

Ye shall recite this to yer son”

He nodded, that boy

But in his mind, concerns

Neither his family nor the shop

In his minds, were the emerald plains

Azure sky and ocean

Beyond that small window

Of the dimly lit atelier

“Ah, were me not born here

Me hate it here

Me wants tae see

What mountains stood

What ocean lies

Here , me trapped within

Tis dirty small shop

Me love wi’ all me life

But me wonder what beyond

Forgive o father

Me want tha’ blue sky

Me want tha’ green forest

Me want tha’ brown road

Trod upon it meself

Accompanied by tha wind”

Ah that frail boy

Attached to balls and chains

Of father’s affection

Of sister’s care

OF mother’s gentleness

Ah that frail boy

Wishes to venture

Beyond the walls of the hamlet

Beyond the horizon

Beyond what eyes can see

When the day ends

He would venture outside the hamlet

Pretending he conquer all road

Ocean crossed

Mountains trod

He was as free as the eagles

Within his minds

On the crimson sunset

That’s when

An unusual scene came into

His tiny eyes

A dark figure

In the horizon

Accompanied by bronze cart

poetry, oblivion
