Poetry


Real freedom

Franchise freedom sans political freedom,
Political freedom sans societal freedom,
Societal freedom sans economic freedom.
Economic freedom sans marital freedom,
Marital freedom sans sexual freedom
Is no freedom you grant women.
Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.
What the poem means is basically about freedom! Freedom of everything, meaning no rules, no consequences, no nothing! This poem relates to chris, because chris didnt care about anything, when he was traveling. He did everything he wanted, when he wanted, and how he wanted. 

Marvellous Travel
I travel with my eyes,
Watching those silently cry,
Asking themselves the question why,
Someone left them without saying goodbye;

I travel with my thoughts,
I travel with my pen;
To write about children, women and men;

I travel with my voice,
I travel with my hope,
That something new, would spring into my horoscope,
Whether in Asia, America or Europe,
There'll always be something interesting to scope;

I travel to many different places,
Mix with many races,
Identify tribesmen by their faces,
And little girls by their laces,

I travel without money,
So, please listen to my testimony,
The good, the bad and even the ugly,
Every experience is worth life's journey,

For I'll always be marvelled,
When ever I travel. 
Joshua Fernandez
This poem is about a person who leaves to enter a journey. He leaves and describes what he has been or seen throughout this experience. This reminds me of chris because, the person in this poem leaves without telling people, just like chris did. The person in the poem travels along with his pen and thoughts, just like chris did. Also, the person here, said he travels without money, just like chris did when he went on his journey. Both have seen  bad and good things, but both say everything is worth their journey.
