Reflections

REFLECTIONS Should we consider freedom as the Granted right to do: Whatever we want, Whenever we want and In Whichever manner it pleases us Or We should think of it as The liberation of ourselves From the Tyranny of passions impulses that Constantly demand to Exceed our measures in Words and deeds, regardless the Consequences? © Demetrios Trifiatis 16 MAY 2013

It is an excellent poem, sir. You always have serious topics in your poems, which make them a delight to read. As for today's question, freedom is a very dangerous knife. It can easily cut the hand that misuses it. Freedom should spring from the soul of people and free them from every negative impulse. It should reach humans to love and unity.

You right! As I insinuate freedom is the liberation from our passions and not the given right to do what we please!Thank you for your thoughtful comment!

What a profound poem, my dear poet. You raise very very important questions that it would do us good to ponder. I wish I had more control over what I do and say! The Bible says that a person with no self control is like a city without walls. Esai kala? Elpizo afto...mou lipis!
