Freedom Aint Free

Aint no way in the world I can sleep without asking the Lord my soul to keep

Keep the soldiers keep the pilots keep the Top Secrets private

Let them live cause for us that’s what they did

They have kids

They are kids

And I complain

Like a dame

In distress 

Go to the bank and cash my checks

They get less

But do more

You made me Lyn-ore

Yet and still I am whore

Of my rights

given to me day and night

I take for granted my location on this planet

It could be me not in the land of free

Or the home of the brave

Unless recycled thru reincarnation I was never a slave

Yet and still 

I complain at will

This place to hot

This place to cold

I am 24 years old

In a position it takes more than time just to grow

I got clothes in the closet on the floors

For a little safety I have doors

And they Lock

No I never shot a glock

I got food by the pot

And they hope they meal is hot

They be wishin’ a lot

Wish I may

Wish I might

Please grant my wish to see daylight

black-african amermemei do not know?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
