Part and Whole Interdependent To Each Other

Freedom and dependence 
Both are emphatically false 
As we are the part of the whole
So correct word is interdependence 

Feel not you are separate 
Otherwise you feel a pull from a string 
And you lose freedom like that of a puppet 
Never feel like cut off 
That may causes upon you a restriction   
And you lose your independence 
Like that of a slave 
Rather move freely as a part of the whole 
And enjoy life 
As a master enjoys his own 

The part is alive because of the whole 
And the whole exists because of the part 
But both are dead 
When they shun to be interdependent to each other.
