By
making my words rhyme,
I
earn a mere dime,
Yet
I write all the time,
Now
is that my crime?
Whispers
behind my back,
It’s
a large stack,
So
it’s hard to track,
To
know what they think I lack.
What
they do is taunt,
About
my words in the usual font,
It’s
not easy to pass, it stays back to haunt,
It’s
not easy to obtain the freedom I want.
PS:
This was part of my closing speech on the topic ‘Artistic Freedom must not have
curbs’ at the recent competition Debating Matters. I had written about it earlier as
well. I and my partner did not get selected though, but it was an experience of
a lifetime. I start off with this poem, and soon I shall post all of the
speeches I had written for usage in the competition.

DeleteLovely K! I think Artistic freedom must not be curbed, after all we have the right to speech and free thinking. Thankfully blogging is a medium where we can speak freely for what we feel! Looking forward to more posts on this topic!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I feel, and yes, blogging is sure becoming a good way to speak out without facing the curbs...!!

The artist should express him/her-self. Full stop. Don't bother about what others say.
