Jennifer Warren Poet Rhyme

Freedom Is a Lie

You are free until you speed and get caught
and the payment starts on the no money down car you bought 

You are free until your credit card is declined
and as long as your friends who pick up the tab don't mind

You are free until rent is due and you are behind
until you can no longer debit and credit is denied

You are free until you work a 9-5
and your monthly pay check does little more than help you survive

You are free till you succumb to a vice
and your spare time is taken up by having to suffice

Ingibo Benson July 15, 2011 at 1:38 AM Hmm...nice write.

Kirby Magee-Dittberner July 14, 2011 at 9:36 PM That's quite good, but I think there's more you could have done with it. Great points though, 7. -Kirby MD Rick Villafana April 5, 2015 at 2:28 PM Most of the time less is more it's a poem not a novel Rick Villafana April 5, 2015 at 2:28 PM Most of the time less is more it's a poem not a novel
