Is freedom a place
to live, to breath, to sleep?

Is freedom an ability
to speak, to hear, to dance?

Is freedom a religion
to cry, to pray, to love?

Is freedom a right
to vote, to protest, to overturn?

Is freedom a responsibility
to think, to reason, to judge?

Is freedom a gift
to be used, to be given, to be held?

Yes, freedom IS:
you have the place
you have the ability
you have the religion
you have the right
you have the responsibility
you have the gift
of freedom.

This was fantastic!  Freedom is of course all of those things, and the ability to write about, and share them with others. Happy 4th of July to you and yours.

If I made you smile today then I did my job!

I have to agree!   This is so well laid out in the format you chose....very good writing!

Freedom is being able to read, respond and understand these poetic creations!

yes, freedom is all that...and yet, I can't help but think about the promise to be free even if the world holds one captive, that is surely the freedome of the heart and the spirit
