Freedom

Freedom,
What does the word really mean,
Because I don't see,
How anyone is truly free,
We live in the shadows of our fathers and forefathers,
Yet we pass this burden onto our own sons,
We judge others,
Yet expect not to be judged ourselves,
We say degrading things about people of different color,
Different religion,
Different living classes,
Yet we deem it "Innapropriate",
"Rude"
"Uncalled for",
When they say the very same things about us,
So,
Are we truly free,
Maybe we're free from Goverment Oppression,
Maybe we're free from Segrigation,
Maybe we're free of War, Poverty, and Famine,
What is freedom,
Freedom is nothing more than a word,
7 letters,
2 syllables,
Its what the word represents that matters,
Freedom,
Simply put,
Is the day that we place no constraints around ourselves,
It's the day that we remove the burden of fufilling our ancestors hopes and dreams,
It will come when we realise our own dreams,
Our own goals,
Our own path to happyness.
