For POETS UNITED ~ Midweek Motif ~ Freedom ~ In Freedom There is Fear ~



In Freedom There is Fear
When a close and dear 
one, is no more,

In Freedom there is blood
When All you made in life
Is washed away in flood;

In freedom there is sacrifice
When all you claim and own
Is taken away without a price;

In freedom there is liberty
For many just a statue
 fights, no rights, nor equality;

In Freedom there are letters
promises and false hopes
 soon you are in iron fetters;

In Freedom I was born
I never saw my land
I long for its beauty
In dewdrops shining
In the morn;

In Freedom there is a gift 
treasure not and you find
it floating by and adrift;

In Freedom there is ease
calm and harmony, hold
 it strong for eternal peace.

freedom is like a marriage it takes hard work and courage. I hope you always have your freedom

You pinpoint the paradoxes in freedom. I will always be grateful for mine though It too comes at a price. The misinformation in the USA guarantees that we know little of what it does in the world. I like the repetition of "In Freedom" that ties this poem together.

Excellent, you have written well the many facets of freedom...showing that it is not always easy, that it takes hard work, that it is a wonderful gift.

I saw a sigh yesterday - "Freedom is Not Free"
I guess when we take it lightly we risk it's loss.
