Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Personification

My Freedom I Claim

Today, finally, with:
                                         Necessity,
                                            Fate,
                                         Destiny,
                                      Karma and
                                         Dharma,
                                  Face to face I came  
                                           Who
               All to me with great emphasis declared that
                      Their obedient child I ought to be  
                                            And
                There was nothing, in my life I should ever,
                              Think, say or do, if first,
                     Their consent to me was not given!

   
   Attentively and with great respect, their arguments, I heard 
                  Making certain not to make any sound
       But when, the courage in my heart, suddenly, I found
                 My voice I raised and daringly announced:
  
   “Since your child I am then some of your powers in me you 
                                    Have invested
     So as to do the things that you wish me, reality to make
                                           Thus 
   Some sort of freedom I must possess, otherwise, I do not see
            The reason into this life for which I was brought,

                                             So

   It seems to me that with you, I am a co-creator and as such
   Have rights and responsibilities which you to me cannot deny 
And the most sacred right of all is that of my FREEDOM which now,
                      With respect, I have from you to claim
                                             For
             My vocation to complete, as Providence expects from
                                         Me to realize!
