Freedom
Today I am free
Free from the struggle and strife called life.
I have shed the shroud covering me
cocooned caterpillar.
Who once bathed in a glistening stream of tears.
Now baptized in the sunlight where tomorrow is born.
No more need to dream of stardom for now
the planet I am.
I am earth in its purest form
Free from scorn, not worn or polluted with
artificial, superficial thoughts, beliefs
which still serve as stockades to those with masters.
I have no domain yet I own the skyline on which birds walk.
My brothers claim streets and slang,
When my ancestors sang they knew not freedom, but death.
In death they are free and the free become dead because to die is to claim one’s self from the earth.
You cannot pawn your reflection to discover your worth
You know that I love this poem. This line is what it's all about:
"You cannot pawn your reflection to discover your worth"
That line speaks so much truth.
