O - YOUR FREEDOM IS AT STAKE.

YOUR FREEDOM IS AT STAKE.

By GOURI GUHA

You sit there, on a very high seat,
You are the head of the State or Country,
You have become the ruler,
You rule the people under you.

The high seat you adorn,
Gives all the power in your hand,
But suddenly you become so frail and small,
When your life is guarded all the while.

You may be big, you may be great,
But your life is guarded all the time,
Men with guns and men in plains clothes,
Always tries to save your life.

You have no freedom of movement,
No independent life of your own,
You may be great in one way,
But all the while, less than a carefree man.
