Freedom
Freedom is not a toy.
Freedom is not a lie.
Freedom is not a gift.
Freedom should not be a wish.
Freedom that our ancestors fought and died for.
Freedom to stop us from crawling on the floor.
Freedom created many wars.
Freedom secured by statutes and laws?
Freedom, of which so many stories tell.
Freedom, the difference between heaven and hell?
Freedom, to walk free on the streets and fields.
Freedom, without it we’re on our knees.
Freedom that they want to take away.
Freedom weakened day by day.
Freedom you thought it was here to stay?
Freedom…
oh no, not for me or you if the fascists have their way.
