FREEDOM

FREEDOM

Clouds of darkness - Little light filters through
As a rain from above washes everything it touches,
The rays of the sun that nourishes life fail to fall upon me
Blocked by a wall of darkness;
Corruption - Lies - Immorality
Flow outward as a kettle boiling over its capacity.

How can we accept words of gentleness - Kindness
From those that are heartless and deceitful
Defiling the very oath they sworn to uphold
We the people - Where are they
Who speaks - For we are the people
Who speaks with words that are not ours?
We the people - I hear the cry falling upon deaf ears
Of those self-serving betraying their trust.

We the people - A people with hopes - Dreams and vision
Suffered hardships - Toiled and worked - Trusted
A people who have shed blood
In a covenant than it nonexistent to those elected;
What happened to the spoken words
Words that fall like snow blanketing the ground
That soon passes as the snow melts on a warm day
As the seasons change - the grass becomes brown
Trees become barren against a lifeless landscape
We the people - a people with a lost voice
Silent as a leaf falling from a wilderness tree
Silent as the flight of an eagle over a mountain
Silent as a fish swimming deep in the ocean
We the people - where is our voice.

As does the voice of our society vanish
Cries of freedom are lost in the wind.
