FREEDOM

Keith

Freedom

It’s an abstract concept

Means different things

To different people

(Look at all those

who think they’re free

chained by the hour

to a screen or TV)

All those who have to work

Not for any satisfaction

Just if not

It’s putrefaction-

They need the money

They have no choice

They earn their crust

But they have no voice.

Everyone’s watched

By cameras or police

Your name’s on a list

On someone’s P.C.

Wherever you go

There’s an eye in the sky

(You’re never alone

With a ‘friendly’ drone)

You might as well

Just stay in bed

Because the only place

Where freedom’s found

Where walls break down

And your soul’s not bound

Is in your mind.

 

Open it.

 

And fly………….

      Freedom means different things to the people in charge and the people they are in charge of. So many countries facing this dilemma. So it is in our own minds. So true.
