Are we Truly Free?

Are we truly free…

Happy Independence Day,

Heard a lot say,

Thought for a while,

Ended up with a smile…

Are we truly free?

I see,

I wonder,

I still ponder…

To a change,

Strange,

How many still rise,

And how many still live a life of lies…

Free from notions of every kind,

Or still prey to the slavery of mind,

So many hypocrites I still see,

And we call ourselves free?

Don’t do this and that,

People oh so coward like a rat,

Society pressure you still see,

And we call ourselves free?

Freedom of religion I heard,

A thought oh so absurd,

C’mon do we really have it,

Yes... c’mon don’t make me use my wit….

Freedom of speech I read,

Thought back in school.. “Well said”,

But no one wants to listen to the right,

Those who tried were thrown outa sight….

Are we truly free?

It’s time we better halt and see…
