Freedom?

Freedom?
Need to look this up
Confusing
Meaning's been for me
Not sure I know this freedom
Something eyes can't see
Blind
For generations
None of us saw him
Will we see him?
When he finally comes
Will he sneak up on us?
A thief in the night
Nobody knowing
Where he's coming from?
I've heard tales
What he's like
This Freedom
We've never met
But, I've been assured
I'll meet him yet
Chained to a nightmare
Some call it a dream
But in my dreams
I reign supreme!
I'm calling the shots
In this video
"Breakin' Loose"
That's the story I'm writing
Gonna chain it to Democracy's walls
Free!
For all to see
A short flicker
Of just what Freedom might be
"Liberty or Death" the battle cry
With her standing in the harbor
Holding a light to hide the darkness
The lie she stands and declares
Torch held high
She beseeches the dregs of this world
Who seek her favors
"Take me in tender woman"
They implore
To dance to the lie
Of the 4th of July
And strut Liberty
Around Consitution Square
Cutiin' a mean rag
On the American flag
And the Holy fathers
Blessing us all

You definately have Many Powerful poems - This one strikes me as one of your most powerful - It leaves the reader with a strong Sting of reality. Good Job.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
