The Same Song

From the beginning Men have cried for liberty Songs of justice and freedom To live unfettered Able to walk their own path Ancient songs still sung today Melodies differ But messages are the same Spirituals from the chained Serfs cried out to kings Dictators hear the masses Ancient songs still sung today

How beautiful, Barbara. I love the way you wrote your sedoka on songs about freedom. We complain because it doesn't seem like the dictators in Washington hear the cries of the "serfs," but at least we live in a free country. So important! Best wishes in the contest, dear. Now, just open that gift when you need a lift and thanks for calling. Love, Carolyn
