What is Freedom?
Short poem with two perspectives
Tell me, what's it like to be free
Tell me, if its all I ever hoped for
Does it feel like a gentle breeze on Sunday morning
A day of the week that we used to take to rest
Tell me, is it worth fighting for?
I would give anything for a safe street to walk on
No fear of fire in the sky or bullets piercing through the wind
Tell me, are there places where I can feel safe?
Does safe means being free?
-
Yes, safety equals freedom
There are places I can show you where hope is still alive
And we walk in the streets with no pain or fear
We live in peace with each other and we stand with your injustice
I will tell you of the land where you do not need to be afraid
And doors are always open,
Come on in and I will feed you;
Here, You are welcomed.
Things happening in Ukraine have devastated the country and the rest of the world. The terror and uncertainty people of Ukraine face is unimaginable, so, although small, I hope my poem can contribute to the ongoing hope and support within the Vocal community for Ukraine.

I have found writing extremely therapeutic & when I write, it sometimes comes out in rhyme.
My goal is to explore my creative side; once ideas flush my mind, I pledge to write and share them with the world. :)
