FREEDOM Mark Poppen

 

Everyone is Free
(given their peculiar constraints)
to do or say or feel
whatever they damn well please

But actions have consequences
and reactions can be fierce
people take their lives personally
they don’t want their bubble pierced.                        (burst?)

So balance your rights w/obligations
Think of others before u act
What experiences have led them
To an opposing mind-set?

Freedom is always internal
Locked inside my head
Great ideas are always eternal
Beyond the spiritually dead.
