A Tribute to Voyage !

Break Away !

 -- R.V.K. Nadeem

Break Away !

This is to the people standing in shackles,

either unaware or ignorant.

The chain pulls them to the direction of its will.

Their naive compliance doesn't let them realize

that the first of the poets didn't emerge from classrooms,

that the first of the architects were half naked fellows

searching for shelter in the wild.

Break Away !

Yes, the clanking of chains would attract attention,

but you have to learn to dance

in the shower of arrows

emanating from the glare of the onlookers who hold the

shackles sacred.

But in the end you'll be happy.

Break Away,

Break away the bonds,

and leap towards the uncharted, the unexplored,

the vines of the established beliefs would try to pull you down.

These are the same vines that ridiculed a child centuries

back when he suggested with an innocent eye-

"Grandpa, may be the Earth is of the shape of an Orange."

the bruise from scuffle with the shackles and

welt of the vines

would, later, be a reminder,

of the revolution you started,

a battle scar,

a reminder of the VOYAGE !

This piece of excellence is by one of our friend R.V.K. Nadeem. He is one of those people who are deeply rooted with the idea of conveying message through means of Speeches, Talks, Debates and Poetry.

He uses Poetry as his weapon to reach out to the masses to convey his message of Peace, Harmony and Brotherhood. In this Poetry he talks about his idea of what does Voyage means to him and how this club has inspired him and helped him to break out the fear of stage.
