Seek Freedom

What does man want?
What does mankind want under the sun?
Is it to eat, drink and have fun?
So that one gets nothing under the sun

Or gathers all the riches in the world
So that nobody authors a word
May be all the women by his side
Is this the ultimate pride?
Reason and think wide


What therefore does man want?
Apart from being free and happy
Freedom is the root of all prosperity
You need freedom to live your destiny
All the riches become nothing
If your neighbor is not free


I need freedom
You need freedom
Everybody needs freedom
The rich needs freedom
The poor also need freedom


The old man needs freedom
So the young man also needs freedom
The king needs freedom
So the slaves also needs freedom
The human society without freedom is evildom

Preach it! Without freedom we're all just running in circles, right? I like the way you expressed yourself in this poem... even coined a new word there in the end. Great poem and a great message!
