I'M Sorry Freedom

I’m sorry my dear heroes for our shame For mothers’ empty tears that now go by For curses braved so cowards sit and cry For surely there is someone else to blame I’m sorry that your glory became lie That freedom was an easy thought to tame That while you fought our leaders played a game That all the hopes of yesterdays now cry Like flocks of sheep to terror in we cave To eyes and ears that watch us everyday Arrested cause our clothes hint misbehave Our children searched in streets they used to play Those dreams of liberties whose cost were grave Are freedoms we now lightly give away
