When Freedom...

Freedom lives.

Freedom dies.

Freedom resides

In the hopeful eyes

Of the masses.

So blind,

So kind,

Its all a matter of time

Before we see

That freedom lies

Where we dare not set our eyes.

Indiscrete,

A ruckus so loud

It speaks before it sees,

It runs before it walks,

and so it falls.

All is in the hands of freedom,

Your life and mine.

Without it we lie

In a catatonic state

Waiting for the food

To land on the plate;

Not living,

Not free,

Loving the near-sighted views

In our eyes,

Knowing…

There is nothing more

To live for,

When freedom dies.
