PERSONAL FREEDOMS By Shreefal Mehta   27 Mar 2020 To hear this read out:  https://youtu.be/H0SVfRzl5zI Free-dom is mine I am free under this skydome Personal freedoms we all hold dear but with me your freedom ends here Step back don’t come near Free to be - whatever on tv I see?

THEY WERE A BILLLION POINT FOUR By Shreefal Mehta.    25 Mar 2020 To hear this read out:  https://youtu.be/To0LPaYu3IE They were a billion point four Or so, who’s keeping score? Seven hundred million arguments or more Travelling on the same path;  but right not left, left not right. Still carrying the same past, creed and caste, black and white Me before You, Us before them Look up Look down, Lock down Lockdown! Billion point four no more going out All together breathe in breathe out Look up look down look all around Who are you? My family and my brood My help, my ‘hood and yes my mood.

Don’t call them no names… Healthy body and healthy mind… Oh, go ahead, I don’t mind… All is clear, life is dear. Mind is a bird, have n...
