My God

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob

Till the time you were my god,

I had no fears anyway,

Since the day I stray away,

Fear has become the anthem of the day.

It afflicts me in the morning

It afflicts me when I sleep

It’s so oppressive,

That I can’t even weep

He is knocking at the door,

My liberty is oppressing for sure,

How blessed it would have been,

If such liberty I had never known.

Free as you may see me,

Yoked if you can find,

Oh what a pity

This world is blind.

So many thorns now abide,

I wish to be freed again,

Vane is the freedom of the world,

I wish to be his captive once again.
