Emile Pinet Poet Quatern

Freedom

I cherish freedom above all,
for everyone wants to live free.
And history sets its value
as a priceless commodity.

Beyond even home and country,
I cherish freedom above all.
Anything less is slavery,
and that thought infuriates me.

No one has the right to own me,
I'll never relinquish control.
I cherish freedom above all,
and I'll defend it with my life.

I love my friends and family;
as an intricate part of me.
But, of all the things I could choose,
I cherish freedom above all.

Connie Marcum Wong March 22, 2022 at 9:46 AM I totally agree Emile. This reminds me of Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death”. 1775 that still holds true today. Congratulations on your wonderful win with this outstanding poem.
