Limit To Freedom

There is limit to our freedom
For the wealthy it’s all about wisdom
For the singer in the star and stardom
Even for the king in his kingdom

You are free to speak… no slander
You are free to mix … no occulting
You are free to vote… no rigging
You are free to live… no blunder

You are free to take… no stealing
You are free to walk… no roaming
You are free to drive… no speeding
You are free to fight… no killing

We are free yet bound with a chain
We can get the gain… also the pain
We can join the train… and the strain
There is freedom… in the tough terrain

oh wow Adeleke (yay now I know how to pronounce your name!)-- I really like how you presented your points and contrasted them with these "limits"--very well done and thought provoking indeed-- and congrats for being in the winner's circle! --nikko :)
