Poem by Dr.Sandhya Tiwari

MIND MADE MANACLES

Man is born free but in shackles everywhere

Some are physical

Some are psychological

To free oneself from physical

Sometimes is just like a child’s play

But the fetters

From which worse is better

As many a times human mind is so fickle

Are difficult to tackle

Call it pretence

Or reasons absence

In the name of civility

False show of inner nudity

Where the words like the conscience,

Ethics, conduct, moral and values

Are found in books

Not in hands

But dusted in racks

One rule for others and another for our self

The mind made manacles result in debacles.
