Asoka: A tree of gladness

M. Mizanur Rahman

She asked me,"Are you free?

'So long I am with yout.',

I asserted.

Seldom one asked me,

'What's liberty'?

Life is challenging,

What I allways noted.

Liberty is nothing else

While procuring rice and bread

This tree of gladness is mute-

When I remain unfed.

I am aback with its flower

In the spring without fruit.
