Self Determination

Self-determination for all

  Freedom is not always what it is supposed to mean 
  It gets curtailed by the influence of the world we live in,
for many freedoms is scary, they prefer freedom within
 the cage that is full of seed in all colour you can think of;
such as a religion of choice and *********** to satisfy your
hidden desire. 
A canary sat on a perch inside its confinement and noticed
the gateway was open, it flew out and the feeling of freedom 
was intense, think sitting on a bookshelf and crapping on 
a newspaper the “Guardian” on the small table by the chair.
A window was open, more freedom, it flew out sat on 
the branch of a tree, feeling totally free and no one would say:
 how blue the bird is?
A raven, shiny black saw the bird and the was that 
a few blue feathers are blowing in the breeze.
