Freedom
Freedom
Freedom is a word we use here in the United States of
America to describe our values and beliefs all across this
land, but freedom is never really free for any race of man.
The cost of freedom is so severe and we fight for it in its
name, but how are you free in a country where everyone
is not treated all the same?
With laws so unfair to everyone, and our civil rights
so lame, a political nightmare that we are all supposed to
vote on, for the Democrats or the Republicans that are all
only in it like it is just a Facebook game.
How free are you to go find a job when quotas are now
the norm? It should not matter what race or religion you are if
we can all do the job the same so I say take away
the quotas and make it fair for all so only the best will remain.
What does it matter if you are gay, straight, or in between?
For love does not even care when two people no matter what
gender fall in love, it is going to be happy everywhere.
This country I love was built on the blood of every single
race of man, so please let us all try to remember that the sweat
that we drip off our brows and the blood that we bleed is
the same color, so together we must all make a stand.
Please tell me how is freedom free when it cost us every
day, with a government who controls what you do and
where you go, with all the stupid laws they pass then make
us all obey.
They say that slavery is over and that every man is free, but
look how much tax they take from your paychecks, from jobs
that you and I work hard for because it is almost like we work
for free.
Our jails are full of people just trying to make it through
as the government is more concerned about the money they
make by arresting and then jailing you. because helping
addicts make them no money, and they need it for all their
made up wars, for the all mighty dollar, and a barrel of oil, or
a gallon of gas that I just paid three dollars and fifty-four.
How is it free with how much it cost now to live and our
veterans who living are on the streets, coming home wounded
with PTSD and other mental and physical issues I mean
they all risked their lives in freedoms name yet there freedom
is not free?
And then they tax you when you sit down to eat, and just to fall
asleep, tax us all when we go to work, to drive, hell they tax
us from the day we are born and even tax us all when we die,
to be buried six feet deep.
So you see freedom is never truly free no matter who, what,
or where you are. For the only true freedom that we all
actually have only lives in our minds, souls, and hearts.
