Freedom

How do you know when you're free

Is it when the bombs stop

Is it when you can walk outside

Without a single worry ?

Jails are only a prison to your body

But can be an open door for the mind

Manipulation is the prison of the mind

It can be more suffocating than a cell

Because your body is free and yet

You can not move, you can not breathe

You are left with no choice

You cannot truly be free

So if I live in a free country,

How do I really know that I'm free?

I'm not locked in my household

But they control how much money

Resides within those walls

How do you know you are free

Unless someone tells you that you're free

Is freedom just being able to fly

Your flag in the sky?

Or is it the ability to speak?

And the ability to hear what others say

They tell us to fight for our rights

But do we already have them?

If we already have them who are we fighting?

Some people have freedom

But choose to fight

with the ones to their right

They say you're the problem

Then the ones to the right

Look to the left and ask

Are you not part of the problem?

They have us fighting against each other

Because when united we are stronger

And that terrifies the ones in charge

Who put the idea into our heads

That either sides are a problem?

They manipulate the people

They have pledged to protect

The middleman makes the money

Leaving the people with nothing
