Freedom
***
Freedom
As I slowly speak out loud
to taste the sense within
Of so simple word
As freedom
Why does
it overwhelm me
With melancholy?
Or do I still sence fragrance
of blood
Why do I still hear the cry
Of warriors from elsewhere
Fighting for their rights
Giving their lives
For Freedom?
Right of every human being
But many aren?t allowed
To breathe the fragrance
Of so costly word
As freedom
Freedom
A small simple word
But it contains much more
More than history ever holds
'cause it's a part of every soul
So please cherish always
the freedom from within
'cause without doing that
you can't fight for
Freedom
