The time has come, to stand up and to defy. Its our life, our choices, how long can they deny?

“The Uncharted Mind/The Time Has Come” — a poem by Shon Mehta

The time has come, to stand up and to defy.

Its our life, our choices, how long can they deny?

The time has come, not to believe in every lie.

Not to follow every rule, without asking why.

The time has come, not to ignore as others cry.

Or soon, very soon, it will be our turn to die.

The time has come, not to turn a blind eye.

Because once lost, freedom is hard to come by.
