Freedoms Drink

Power exceeds nothing but the man 
Taste of success achievement brings desires want 
What feeds soul it's hunger thirst 
For survival, worldly possession does not bring life 
A mere illusion of hopes happiness 
Only when man is himself you find truth 

When one is kind, they find heart 
Anger, drama's stress to cope realities beatings 
A emotional state much like love 
Power of ego feed by influence mind 
What is one's quality if not fought in belief 
Where one stand if ripped his dignity 
Except beneath the feet they beg to be 
Is color hatred as it is us ourselves 
Unpurified nature of mankind since dawn time 

Is one better than another except he be different 
Same breath we bleed to rectify our actions 
Our journey similar; with different steps 
Are we running just accept things are 
Given up concept to existence we fall 
Freedoms drink, our thirst isn't oneself 
But soul which gives us life we breathe 
Wealth, appreciating your blessings, could be worse
