What is Freedom?

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.
