What is Freedom?

Freedom, that glorious principle

Men live for it, as they die for it

Freedom means many things, each unique to the thinker

Freedom to speak, to write, to faith

 

What is freedom to me?

Freedom is standing at the mouth of an abyss

Staring into hell, choosing my path

Freedom is the wind at my back, the rain on my skin

A storm, reigning over the world

 

Freedom is the choice

Freedom is all of the choices

To choose, it is mans greatest gift

That which separates us from the wild

 

Freedom is thinking before you speak

And speaking before you think

It is a contradiction, a confusion

The right to not make sense

 

What is freedom?

Freedom is me

Freedom is you

Freedom is us.

And us, my friends, us is a wonderful thing
