Thread: Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake

"Where the mind is without fear and the head held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening thought and action;
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake."

Rabindranath Tagore

You never cease to amaze me AirborneSapper7.
That is lovely. Thank you for posting it.

He was basically given everything by the British, especially his education. Then he renounced his honorary knighthood. That poem is an Indian/Punjabi Nationalist poem. Why don't you post Cesar Vellejo while you are at it? Or maybe some Bertolt Brecht?

Do you just post things without understanding what they are?

not sure where you are coming from so I'll be nice... feel free to post what ever you wish.. for example your favorite author.. I have none... I post what flows at the moment

I feel this country has fallen a sleep and I want the occupants to wake up and see what is being done.... so it has nothing to do with the author.. I wouldnt care if Bob the Janitor wrote it
