Freedom

A breathtaking dream 
A lovely illusion 
As a tar baby 
We cannot escape

Human nature 
So long unchanged
As a tar baby 
We cannot escape

Tis not in freedom that I dream
Yet in dreams is some freedom found
While we who dwell beneath the sword
Pray for the freedom of the Lord

Interesting poem - I'm thinking it means we cannot escape human nature?
