Life with peace, prosperity, Brought to see, who is to be, From the bonds that broke, and clean blood to soak, Of friends and fathers, lovers, cease and end.

Cost and Wages
In the middle of a dead field Nowhere to be Yellow mountains and narrow dirt roads Surround me Thoughts of you keep me moving I'd follow you with bare feet Across California until my hands find yours again You are the half that completes me. Free to make a choice Free to give my heart away No matter how far you go, To you I will always find a way.

Finding You
late september. bare feet. fifth of jack. as the sun broke from the wrath of the unpiercable storm clouds that were blocking its rays and sunk towards the horizon the sky turned into a pink so striking that it was like the world locked lips and decided that it was time for the downpour to end forever. is that what freedom feels like? when all the barriers that tear us apart break, does it feel like late september? does it feel like walking along the coastline, the stinging aroma of salt water, the sound of the waves crashing into the sand and the wind whipping stray locks of hair across your face? does everything look sublime and crystal clear? freedom. late september. the most beautiful dream emerging from a daunting nightmare. -z. vega

late september
a foot steps forward toward the goal of common decency and rights for all mankind • steps orderly and without guile the narrow way is difficult it seems like many miles before another human soul is even seen the encounter strengthens the weary the way is narrow • but it is God's way the path doesn't wind or wend • it is very straight • but because of this there's hardly distraction from the importance of the goal FREEDOM SoulSurvivor (C) 7/5/2016

the lonely road to freedom
On the night patrol in some desert never heard of before, a private first class shivers from the cold. On the deck of a ship off the coast in a deep blue sea, a sailor prepares an aircraft to launch, to help those in need. In a war torn nation, a nurse mends wounds and sets broken bones, wishing she could be with her family, but her duty calls her here. Across many time zones and foreign lands, to gardens of stone with memorial walls, many keep watch and pay the price so that we may relax and be at ease. Let us never forget the price they pay, some giving their all. This is what our rights demand, this is freedoms cost.

Freedoms Cost
While existing behind the bars of hate, fright, and constraint, living mindfully amidst the chaos.

This is Freedom
I've known of the man called Freedom, His eyes pristine and his hands of good gesture, He gave to all he ever saw, Even those who wished he'd be dead. You see, Freedom is a nice man, He had given us the chance to be one, Yet some see him as a hindrance, That he'd be the one to cut the bridge to their horrid ambition. It's true Hell's already empty, The Devils are already here! And they'd tied Freedom to the podium! **And they'd ready their flames and ***** "Witness! As this hell of a saint be exposed before your very eyes!" The Demons wailed and shouted. "Light the flames! Expose his treacheries!" As the demons hissed and the ***** lighted. Freedom speaks. Friends, my brothers, people of all brethren, Ramble not, for I shall tell you truth. Ebb is the fierceness you encounter, End is the beginning of your hate. Dawned to me, you have lost your innocence, On the edge of light and darkness; Mourning am I to you all. Never the same are your reasons to fight, Earnest are you to your reasons, Vague, yet, are your answers. Earthbound will be your rationality, Revolving in wrong, your right. Demonstrate not crudeness, but kindness, Ice the hatred and let the good burn within you. Enough of the foul that has come to be, Sing the words that are your harmony. All is silenced. Freedom opens his eyes. The flames, gone. The hissing, deafened. Freedom, is you.

Slam
Wind blows through my hair The grass soft against my feet Everything seems fair Even constrained in my seat I have plenty of food I'm safe and warm Even if it's crude I'm part of the norm I'm sent to a place That is padded ceiling to floor I play with my dress' lace While I sit there and bore This is my punishment for speaking I acted out to Him The one who's been 'tweaking' Me since life turned grim Awful things happen here But I'm grateful too That I don't live with fear The one I once knew This punishment is minor I've had it a time too many For asking about her shiner And counting to twenty If I continue rebelling And I do worse Then spelling I'll ride off in a hearse I've been taken to a big crowd I'm out of that room That's when it went loud And I heard a BOOM That's the day I was found The day I was me I heard no other sound But those of glee I never understood What I hadn't been told And now I think how could My parents never want to hold Me That was the day I was taught a word One of beauty and glory A word that I heard That is its own story A story so sweet Saying I didn't need 'em That I could meet A world of freedom

Prisoner
Long lasting likeable lifestyle, On the best possible place, Vexing me never ever, Eternal & truthful. It is the real definition, So surreal it always is. Far away from loneliness, Reading mutual fun daily, Eternal is this true feeling, Exceptional are all its ways, Dominion of my familial home, Obvious empress is my mother, My father the obvious emperor.

Freedom For Me (2° Acrostic)
With red of blood on the Road they lie dying In front of our eyes For help they cry With the fear of facing Consequences we Leave them on the way Being torn into pieces By some *** maniacs In front of our eyes For help they cry With the fear of being Attacked ourselves we Leave them on the way With the fear to react And to shield ourselves Our selfish heart being Locked in a prison Let us first give freedom For our heart to react Opening our mouth To save the helpless as A team against the evils Joining hands together And that will be a day Of real freedom !

Real Freedom
Free my soul from your eyes With full of hatred it cries Free my heart with a space With a full stop to chase Free me completely from you With a liberty to choose new !

Free Me
Not just a political affair Or a public property Not to use for commercial purpose An individual right, a right of privacy it is Every single heart yearns for it Children from parents Youths from old ones Women from men and Men from women Lovers from the society Politicians from the law Government from the people Nature from these greedy evils ! A common wish of every soul Under a star is Liberty Carried a meaning and Few fame of tags, Liberty For one nation from the other For the poor from the rich Carrying lot of meanings With different names of tags Fighting for Liberty from Rapists,Serial-killers,Hackers, Rumor-mongers,Media maniacs Political monsters,hijackers Living with a fear to live ! Finally the soul too wishes Liberty from the body Leaving it a deadly skin Stopping its yearn to be free !

Strive for Liberty
Constricted, tied down to a thought Of how we’re living the labels given to us and there are billions of fishes in the sea but yet everyone is caught in a net. We’ve told plus sized people that they can’t wear skinny jeans, because it’s not labelled for them. We’ve held obesity at gunpoint in the light of day as though they can only be loved at night. We’ve forced shackles on men and women to tie them not by the threads of their heart but by the words of a constitution that darkens the glimmer of light within love that is kept hidden. When did the law and love intertwine to form handcuffs? We cast our shadows on issues of racism; fought out wars with prejudice and hatred, only to be blinded by tainted teachings of a generation lost in separation and division. We fought colour on colour, “for society”. Look around, seven point four billion people all alive, tied down to the judgements of society; an overbearing handcuff that controls our hearts and our soul, a journey of an already prewritten sequel. Look around, you and me, are we really free?
