The Excitement of Feeling Free

In Search of Freedom

 

I.

In this land we take, not sure how to

set ourselves free; we search.

Mumbled with pre-predictions; sight

of up has already been determined.

My mind gives unto this over and over;

as I try and keep the memories of

my freedom alive; struggling in today's society.

 

II.

For some reason my people are wise;

maybe from the suffering of cold poverty.

The need for compassion, sheds great

insight; humbling us to a real life.

Freedom is in reach.

III.

How to grasp freedom; educate wise.

Throw away your rules, and preconceived notions.

This is who I am, and how I grow.

You can not take that away from me.

And I swear, never to take it away from my child.

The freedom to learn, is the freedom to grow.

IV.

Thrown into this world, young and caring

opened to your insanities, I talk to myself.

Challenged with what is real, or could be fantasy,

I begin to ravel with every roll, like a golf ball;

only exposed, when the hard shell broken;

waiting to snap, I grow old.

 

V.

Which leaves me to think of my past freedom.

Not so far away, I can smell it like yesterday.

That kind of excitement does not leave you;

when you are alive. There are so many reason.

With just one taste, you can embody the righteousness.

 

VI.

How do I suffice in this world now?

Trained on the comforts of my own addictions.

Blundering, day by day, in our confused society;

like everyone around me, I become narrow-minded.

Drowning in my own spun web.

 

VII.

I know better, for certain reasons why.

My memories of freedom, held close to my side.

I might fight to keep them checked,

for the problems they arise.

But, eventually they unlock my tongue.

My mind and body, unable to deny myself my freedom.

 

VIII.

I have been educated to be free.

My opinions always mattered.

People cared, always true to nature,

pretty, ugly, or indifferent;

 

IX.

With right and wrong, written, for each individual.

Respect and honesty the strongest rule.

Such a knowledge can not be denied,

The greatest gift for a

people's nation is

Freedom.
