    Freedom

    What is freedom meant to be
    Free from what
    From you and from me
    From ourselves or what we can be
    Freedom reflects a peaceful time
    A bird on a vine
    A dove of pure white
    A silhouette at night
    A picture so perfect
    Nothing you can not see
    Yet freedom has bound me to this place
    To work, to walk, to be this way
    Society accepts only what they see
    Therefore I am not free
    Even of the religion I choose to be
    Will I ever be free of society
    Will I ever be able to be what I want to be
    And people will just accept me for me
    Everybody setting down rules
    Do this, talk like this, walk like this, dress this way , work here
    Believe what I believe
    Spread god’s word
    But everywhere I turn they are telling me something different
    So who’s version should I listen to
    All they keep saying is do what I do
    Practice the bible
    Old testament, new testament
    First book, second book
    Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
    I’m tired of it all
    I will believe what I know
    Freedom will exist
    If I just don’t care
    And take a stand
    Give people a helping hand
    One for all and all for one
    God gave us his only son
    The only freedom I see
    Is the one guiding me
    The only freedom that nobody can see
    Freedom is what you want it to be
    My freedom is god eternally

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
