Freedom, as in d' first 5 min. of postnatal period

Only for 5 min. span after d' birth,

a scope to enjoy the real freedom

a naked nameless baby, free to cry

with no sins, without any direction

Grant me d' same liberal freedom

further for d' entire period, lifelong

why lock me up in the unlit prison

of nationality, caste, and religion

Chosen a name as per d' birth star,

tried out to soothe d' ears, decided

d' first, d' middle name too to match,

spell it loud, if it feels good, satisfied

Scores of names, how to settle one,

further tough to pick up a nickname

toiled to elect and tried a few tricks,

the ultimate push was to flip a coin

Born 1000s of feet above d' ground

beyond the borders of any nation

Mom went into labor in an aircraft

over a water body, d' Pacific Ocean

About d' nationality, my citizenship,

rules discussed, a lot of confusion

a hot topic, d' commuters debated,

a sky-baby title sits fit in d' situation 

Airlines did publicity stunts, issued

free flight travel pass for a lifetime

inspired pregnant ladies can board

the flights, fully safe in their airlines

A baby gets d' religion of his father,

later to follow or quit as he decides

d' difference between fact and faith

let him appreciate, then take a side

Doesn't like to get caged, tortured,

unable to jump d' untoward barriers

cares for morals and ethics, not the

dogma of caste, religion, ancestors

Trust in God's might and authority,

parent's citizenship wants to ignore

to live as an unknown human being

relish d' freedom as had

in d' first 5 min. of postnatal period
