Freedom

Freedom Degradation, demoralization Doom, destruction, decadence And the masses still cry ’Freedom!’ None of this even makes sense Free to live out every feeling Every thought and every dream This will better life and people Well at least, so it may seem We should be the freest spirits With no one to answer to Life will give us utmost pleasure Dare not say this isn’t true Let us revel in denial Let us be and let us live No explaining, no correction Do not force us to forgive Tell us not of repercussions We are living by the day We won’t hear of consequences If all it does is cause dismay Freedom is what we are craving And we get it, each his own Whether it restricts another Empathy will not be shown And the more we long for freedom The more we all become depraved Mind the shackles of this freedom For it wants us all enslaved.

Wendy, you do have an interesting take on this. It seems you're saying that freedom, without accountability for our actions and without taking responsibility for our proper exercise of it, really is not freedom at all. Rather, it appears to be an empty muse that, as you perceptively put it, "wants us all enslaved." Thank you very much for your insightful piece! :) Bartholomew
