On Independence and the Will to Be Free

On Independence

Nothing can be as powerful
As an Idea whose time has come
Hugo adeptly foresaw
So it is from the subjugation of the landmass
That a concept had become a juggernaut
Freedom to sing, to vote, to be libelous
All in a lawyer’s day’s work
That men would clash and lifeless bodies decorate
The field coloured with blue and red uniforms

So that the whole wide world would witness

How red, white, and blue it is to be free
Free to raise your children as parents unchained
Free to speak without the stake being filled with tinder and brushwood
Free to dress without the Scarlet Letter stitched to the bosom
Free to chose a Black president for the sake of change
Free to comment on a blog post or just ignore it altogether

Hail to the men incarcerated by death so that the children would grow not as slaves.

The Will to Be Free

You tell me otherwise, that the blood course through the corridors of the heart without leg irons so that they can get about greeting the nutrients hello would you voulez vouz couche avec moi ce soir and then after seeing that wonderful dress and there is no law wearing a two piece bikini in Miami you rush in and make sure you make a lot of money to indulge in yourself while you don’t waste time with a geek who would shackle your life with loserness and brain density but you will always stand up and brush your teeth and go to work and strive to be promoted in your liver so that you can avoid cancer of the masochist and yet you are a star in your own right you take the witness stand and play the jury music and hopefully you convict the right criminal so that the streets will be safe again and put Fox Mulder and the O.C. to shame well you may not comment on my gibberish but don’t stop the itch, it is the will to be free

    A shame some in this country do not appreciate what we have;)

    I live in Asia but I deplore the callousness of politicians sending young servicemen and servicewomen to unknown fates in the Middle East. I agree with you that there are some who take what our forefathers died for for granted. You take care, okay.

    Hi, thank you so much. Happy 4th too, and all that it represents for us.
