Freedom
As I slowly speak out loud
to taste the sense within
Of so simple word
As freedom

Why does
it overwhelm me
With melancholy?
Or do I still sence fragrance
of blood

Why do I still hear the cry
Of warriors from elsewhere
Fighting for their rights
Giving their lives
For Freedom?

Right of every human being
But many aren’t allowed
To breathe the fragrance
Of so costly word
As freedom

Freedom
A small simple word
But it contains much more
More than history ever holds
'cause it's a part of every soul

So please cherish always
the freedom from within
'cause without doing that
you can't fight for
Freedom

Well done.  It is sad that in all of human history freedom is one thing which has never been free.

(sigh) Oh Charisma, this is so very true, sweet friend, I think too many fail to recognize the golden rule of freedom and that only creates chain effects of despair in others! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Charisma, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
