Freedom
Freedom without responsibility
Freedom without accountability
Are the causes for evil
And there lurks the devil
Freedom is a privilege
Free only with knowledge
Not a right and must be earned
It is to be learned
King shouted ‘free at last’
A whisper from the past
What prevails is abusive power and oppression
Only to have mass suppression
A tiny quark in the universe
Why with each other are we adverse?
Organic existence one nanosecond in geologic time
A concept so sublime
AND
The heart aches
With all the fakes
