Be Free
Freedom is a privileged state of mind for those who can afford it.
If one doesn’t mind enslaving themselves to get it.
Understanding it is never free to have freedom
That is why it is called freedom
Because it is dumb to be free without wisdom.
So count the true value of your freedom
It is worth more than a kingdom
Of jewels & diamonds as we die upon financial freedom.
But can’t you see? We are slaves for money.
To be free you must be under some sort of slavery
Therefore, it is wise to enslave yourself
With what you need not what you can’t have.
And starve yourself for a dream
That is most likely to be a nightmare.
So do you care? About your welfare
Or are you blinded by other people’s
Schemes not dreams. Making it seem unfair
Don’t forget we are living in a society where
You are a person because of people as if without people you are not a person
But here is an important lesson
You only need one other person
To become people therefore to be a person who you want to be
You must be with people in the correct society
THEN AND ONLY THEN YOU’LL BEGIN TO BE FREE
…ONLY MENTALLY.
