WHAT IS FREEDOM?

​

Tell me the meaning of Freedom

even though it's hard to do

Because the word can mean many things 

just depending on who

​

Is using the word to express feelings

or a state of mind

Like the dreams of the Prisoner

wondering what he will find

​

When he's released from barred windows

and those clanging cell doors

Making himself a promise

he'll never return that's for sure

​

Or maybe it is simply hearing

the bird's dawn chorus sung

In those moments tucked up warm

in bed before the day's begun

​

In childhood it's watching the birds

as they take flight to the skies

Wishing that you too could have wings

so that like them you could fly

​

It might be the men on Speakers Corner

shouting out their views

I know so many things can mean freedom

I am sure you do too
