| Proclamation Freedom, a word heard often, What we supposedly possess, An item seemingly in reach. A word that brings emotion to all. A single word attached to various meanings. Never used in a negative manner. Do we really have it? Or is freedom an illusion in itself? Can we have freedom if we still have inequality? Can freedom exist in a society that thrives on lies? Can freedom exist if it was never truly born? Our freedom is a myth, A story we tell ourselves so we are able to wake up everyday. Can you honestly say that you bear the fruit of freedom, Or that you flourish in a light of equality? Our society is based on a falsehood, That will never ring true in the eyes of its people. |
