The Koala on the tree - Rishona Chopra

There sat a cute koala on the tree, 

Eating all the fruits, he could see. 

There I came and cuddled him, 

We could hear the sound of hymns. 

He sat there lazily, 

Waiting to be petted by me. 

He was missing his family, 

Dreaming of a fantasy. 

Why do we enclose him in these bars?

It simply shows our ugly scars. 

Though we hurt him, 

He never shows he is grim. 

But loves us like anything, 

Waiting for his happy spring.

Freedom - Aavansh Gupta

 August 15 is Independence Day, also known as Freedom Day. We celebrate it because, on this day, our country was free from the British. But did you know this was half of the freedom? We make poor people our maids and make them do whatever we want. Some people don’t even give them enough salary. We trap birds in cages and do not let them fly independently. We also tie a steel chain around dogs and cats. Can’t every living being live with freedom? So let me share a self-composed poem that will tell you about freedom.

Freedom is the right to do 
Whatever we want.
Like flying in an aeroplane
Or searching about thorn.
 
August 15 1947
When the British left our country
Everyone did whatever they wanted
But that wasn’t the whole freedom
 
We trap birds in cages.
Do not let them fly
They roam all around the cage
Escaping is what they try
 
So, on Republic Day
On January 26
Let us make a promise
That freedom will be our bliss.
