Freedom the Lie

It's all in your head. It's all in your mind. One day, you'll be dead. One day, you'll be hard to find. We say, "we wish we could fly." We say, "Give us some time." They'll work you till you die, They'll work you till you commit a crime. Freedom is only in your head. Freedom is only in your mind

Wow! This is really cool. I tend to be optimistic about freedom and that it is obtainable even if only in death. Or in mind or in execution of thoughts in such a poem. But that doesn’t mean I am right. It is just my personal perspective! Good engaging poem!
