THE SPRAWLING COMPOUND

This world is a vast sprawling
compound, doctor
and
unlimited is my freedom now
like a free bird.
Thanks a lot Doctor, for having
restored my sanity
my mind was a speeding wheel
once.
Like a child devouring
a sweet fruit let me
devour the fruit of freedom henceforth
with that innocence of
the child.
Least bothered me, doctor
about the so-called relatives and
friends for not paying a
visit to me during my treatment
and after
for having ditched by them
as long as a vast sprawling
compound is this world
with many a generous and
caring man spread here
and there.
Neither am I a murderer,
thug, absconder nor
a cheat,
I needn't fear anyone
where-ever I am
in this vast sprawling
world
nor worry about that
social stigma stamped
on me.
