5. If I had the liberty
If I had the liberty to dieI would have already died,
For what is earth
If not the destruction-life
Of excruciating pangs?
If I had the liberty to live
I would have lived eternally on earth,
And offered Mother-earth
My Eternity's gratitude-life.
Sri Chinmoy, Lord, I ask You for one favour, Agni Press, 1975
