Freedom

Everyone wishes to be Free But what does it mean to be Free Free from persecution by the unjust To some it means to express one’s own lust Free to decide one’s own destiny That begs the question what is destiny If ones defines destiny Or being free As having impact on events as they unfold And way they can be controlled You as individual are a droplet in sea That stretches for at least infinity But you have impact of what happens near and to you At least this much seems to be true But from what reference point does one measure destiny The house, the country, continent, planet, galaxy Not only can you go for infinity It begs the question why must there be Reference point to destiny After all does not having any such point not means being free? Something alive for eternity Eternity not confused with infinity Even something happening outside of continuity Happening in presence of time would have to be So if something would be alive for eternity And in state that breaks second law of thermodynamics it would be Would it be free? I think I would like to be In control of my destiny Where reference point would be To something but nothing in particular That I would like to be my guiding star But when I see loved one looking at me I feel free
