The Fourth of July and all Days Independent….

#Freedom

‘Tis for freedom

We have been set free

Stand firm then

And burdened not be

By the yoke then

Of slavery.

Slave to fear

Ridicule and slight

Slave to the voices

Accusatory, shrill in delight

Voices that deplore and divide

Voices of prejudice

And then some, of pride.

You were called to be free

None, in these bondages tight

Free to be, free to breathe

To live, my heart

My body, my life alight.

We are free,

Shake loose, then

These the suppressions, the chains

Enslaved and incarcerating

Masquerading

As ardour, the passion

That doth seduce us.
