For its not we that seek to be free,
But our souls that seek enlightenment,
Foolish is thy who boasts about tomorrow,
For we know not what we may find comes tomorrow,
It is not our freedom that we find,
But a continuation of that which hurts most,
A burial for the ones dear to us the ones we lost,
Freedom is just a word hard to attain in a rush,
But it’s more painful when you don’t get it at last,
It’s more than just  having a human right,
It is the enlightenment of one’s soul,
The ability to have self control and composure,
Vanity is what we exhibit,
But it’s through vanity we are vanquished,
From a concealed vantage point we stand,
Minds that are freed take heed in what is said,
Things only the enlighten may understand,
It is not we that seek to be free,
But our souls that seek enlightenment,
Relevant now in my country
