Freedom

Oh Freedom! your name resonates across the land and seas like the sound of a thousand bell pealing from a distant hill your echoes reverberate like thunder crossing the skies in cries too loud to ignore in shouts too angry to abate you are so love and adored with deep devotion and pride people venerate your name giving their lives to honor you Are you what you are supposed to be? a gift from God to humanity to use you as they will and choose to promote and foster a common good You give humanity a decent face from their failing human tendencies that is vile and ruthless and full of hate making this world an unsafe place Are you fair and just to everyone? is your name attached to every man? regardless of status race and creed will you be honored with the same respect? If you are only good for my speech but have no use to my belief and faith oh freedom I'd rather not have you in my life if only half of my rights you meet My freedom to free speech is as essential as my freedom of belief the world needs to understand that freedom belongs to everyone
