A Full Stop To Slavery - I

He is a slave of his own community; He cannot say anything against it; If he says so he will be called a traitor, Betrayed the reputation of his community And so, he has to be punished by expulsion. Is it justice, dharma? The thought deepens. Without free ideas can any community develop? Person of blooming ideas cannot breathe here! Hierarchical system harasses harnessing all in tradition, Quite ageless, out worn and ineffective in practice today! If you are a slave of love You will be honoured as a civilized person; If you are a slave of truth You will be respected as a honest person; But if you are a slave of a community Of dubious tradition You will lose your reputation; Things based on tradition Are not permanent in this world; But things based on truth Cannot even be shaken by the world! Finally, victory for any issue Is always for the truth; Love has no fear in the world Being the greatest power. Like the Sun and Moon for the Earth Love and truth are for man here; Man cannot see and understand The world without his two eyes So also, without love and truth He cannot judge any matter wise; Like the mother and father for the child The love and truth are there for man.
