Freedom

Freedom is a thought inside, 
its when you feel truly alive, 
but outside of your soul, 
in the world that we know,
freedom is killed, 
murdered by the shrill,
don't let the freedom break from your soul, 
or you'll be truly cold, 
freedom equals happiness, love, 
freedom

Another Inspired by my friend Gary La Buda

Freedom have never been expressed more lovingly Jay! I can't refrain from thinking of Janis Joplin's philosophy that " Freedom is just another word for having nothing left to loose..." J.A.B. %

Too many people today are taking their freedoms for granted while others are stripping them of them one by one in the name of the greater good. Thanks for reminding us.
