Cry Freedom Poem by Christopher Tye

Cry Freedom

Freedom is finally in sight after forty years,
The common man finally bringing common sense,
A new hope finally achieved for future generations,
British Citizens finally finding their voice again.

Common people not listening to political propaganda from all sides,
Britain finding it's heart and destiny finally,
The working man at last allowed to speak once more,
Now we can build a better future and world for all.

A step towards a better Britain and Europe,
A new dawn of equality and honesty for us all,
A brave new world where we can end poverty and injustice,
A world where local democracy will give people their voices back.

A new start where the world can be stronger,
Sovereign nations able to follow their own paths,
Nations being able to be nations once more,
World trade taking a step towards being fairer.

All people's of the world must continue working for freedom,
Striving to combat social injustice and prejudice,
Trying to make the world a level playing field for all,
A place where we all have a voice not just the rich and bureaucrats.

Now we have a chance for us all to be equals,
Stopping corruption and tumbling despots,
Starting to shine the light of liberty on the oppressed,
A place where every human is treated with humanity.

Cry freedom and continue the fight across the world,
Cry freedom until we have the world we need,
Cry freedom while continuing fighting for independence,
Cry Freedom until humanity triumphs.
