Notes About The Poem

This Is Freedom

 
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human
 being with an independent will.”   - Charlotte Bronte


I live in a country where I am free
free to be me, to say what I want to
to think without any hinderance, restraint
I am not controlled or ever limited
freedom of religion, of speech, of thoughts
of education, the ability to vote and complain
this is freedom

I love being free, never confined
knowing nothing of bondage or slavery
the power of choice is mine to take
I have opportunities and liberty in life
my country has human and legal rights
I know nothing of war in my country
no bombs will wake my sleep at night
this is freedom

I wish every country in the world
knew the freedom that I exist in
