Humanity & Freedom by ANYPEN(m): 3:23pm On Mar 02, 2013
Humanity don't know what freedom means
he displays his mortality in it
like a child don't know what's in leaf
"just a vegetable!" he calls it.

step outside and let's teach some lessons
look into the sky and find a bird flying
soon you'll see its wings disappearing
that is freedom; a privilege to get missing.

great people understand what that means
so they make borders and occupy boundaries,
they ignore theories saying they own all spaces
cause just an illusion is what freedom is

where has the bird flown now?
West, North, East or South?
Living or maybe Dead and out?
you don't know and care it's where about

but if it were to be restricted in your care
to house, feed, water and dress
and to make it not know the skies it's missing
the purpose of life is revealed enough clearly

if all could fly till they disappear
what will be the essence of life even at its best?
so if you say the sky is just the beginning
do not forget to still set a limit

if you're free in displaying immorality in public places
and loot treasury in government offices
if you're free in displaying wealth where sickness ravages
and step on toes because you wear iron heels

you're displaying mortality in freedom
and your wings fast disappearing
soon you're gone and forgotten,
'cause you got caught-up in an illusion.
