Challenge of the Week LXXXII
Here in the USA, it is Independence Day. What does it mean to be free? Do we need to feel free to be free? Are we free? Write about freedom. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
FREEDOM ISN’T FREE
F- FEELING
R-REALLY
E-EXCEPTIONAL
E-EVERYDAY
NO, WE ARE NOT FREE.
YOU SEE, WE PAY TO STAY HERE WITH TAXES.
WE CAN'T LIVE WHERE WE WANT BECAUSE OF RACISM OR CITIZENSHIP.
WE CAN'T SAY WHAT WE WANT BECAUSE YOU WILL BE IN A LAWSUIT.
WE CAN'T DO WHAT WE WANT BECAUSE YOU WILL BE SHOT OR TAZED.
WE CAN'T RAISE AN ANIMAL BECAUSE OF WHERE YOU LIVE.
WE CAN'T MARRY WHO YOU LOVE IN SOME STATES.
MY HOME IS NOT PROMISED,
MY LIFE IS NOT LAYED.
MY LIVING IS NOT FREE,
UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT GET PAID!
