Freedom
Everyone wishes to be
Free
But what does it mean to be
Free
Free from persecution by the unjust
To some it means to express one’s own lust
Free to decide one’s own destiny
That begs the question what is destiny
If ones defines destiny
Or being free
As having impact on events as they unfold
And way they can be controlled
You as individual are a droplet in sea
That stretches for at least infinity
But you have impact of what happens near and to you
At least this much seems to be true
But from what reference point does one measure destiny
The house, the country, continent, planet, galaxy
Not only can you go for infinity
It begs the question why must there be
Reference point to destiny
After all does not having any such point not means being free?
Something alive for eternity
Eternity not confused with infinity
Even something happening outside of continuity
Happening in presence of time would have to be
So if something would be alive for eternity
And in state that breaks second law of thermodynamics it would be
Would it be free?
I think I would like to be
In control of my destiny
Where reference point would be
To something but nothing in particular
That I would like to be my guiding star
But when I see loved one looking at me
I feel free
