A Feel Of Freedom Poem by Rubaba Mmahajia Rahma Sabtiu

In my little cup of tea
I see a beautiful blue sky and sea
And the flying yellow butterfly
The fishes smiled
A smile on my face too
A trickling sweetness in my throat
The drop of honey in the centre of my heart
The butterflies gave me a nice tapping
Very joyously ticklish
Laughter replaces a fading smile
On the highest of heights
Mountains circling me
Everyone grasped in my view
In my eyes I saw peace and calm
Dipping a finger in the sea
Water sticking to my hand
Then came a cry and a beautiful song
Freedom I feel
No, I didn’t say that, she did
A pretty woman I would call her
Her face unknown but her shadows so clear
Today she sings songs with lyrics so lustrous
She summons the sea, the sky and the mountains
The world came along too
An amazing beauty she witnessed
People of all races, heights, shapes and sizes
Their language, giving her different tunes
Screams emanating from deep down her
The ninth planet heard and cheered
Floating in a gorgeous white dress and veil
The air privileged to be the palisade
The wild ones playing beats for her from the deep forest
Her words absolve her voice
Free! Free! Free!
Pain they had felt yesterday
So she could laugh today
She, the half of society
Yet she owns the other half
Never did she speak when they spoke
Today she stands proud as they stand
Her head held high
For freedom felt fulfilling
