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.
