Invitation For Gruhapravesh

For the caged bird, the fish in the pond
by my friend who is in prison because he said what he thinks.
For the flowers destroyed, by the trampled grass.
For pruned trees, by the tortured bodies,
... I call your name, Freedom.

For the teeth, the rage,
by the throat, through the mouths do not sing.
On the clandestine kiss on the censored verse,
by the young exile, banned by the names,
... I call your name, Freedom.

YOU NAME ON BEHALF OF ALL OF YOUR REAL NAME, YOU NAME
after dark, Nobody Sees
WRITE YOUR NAME ON THE WALLS OF MY CITY

For the idea pursued by the beatings,
by one who does not stand for those who hide,
fear you have, watch your steps,
by the way you attack, for the children they kill you,
... I call your name, Freedom.

invaded by land, by the conquered peoples

by people subjected, exploited by men
for the dead at the stake, for the just executed,
by the hero murdered by the fires extinguished,
... I call your name, Freedom.
