Freedom Poem by D Loveday Morris

Freedom of a sneeze
Freedom to burp
Freedom to be shielded from hurt

Freedom from lies
Freedom to cry
Freedom to wipe tears flowing from my eyes

Freedom of a spit
Freedom to chit
Freedom of a point of view- that's a gift

Freedom to walk
Freedom to talk
Freedom to sit at nights in the dark

Freedom to dream
Freedom to scream
Freedom from nightmares- that's freedom supreme

Free- dom,
Free-idiom
Free-dumb; dum

Freedom to be dumb- dum, dumb
Freedom if I choose
Freedom to gamble- win or lose

Freedom to oppose
Freedom of a prose
Freedom to wipe ones nose- I suppose

Freedom to fair
Freedom to share
Freedom to be hope to despair

Freedom is John Locke's dare;
Freedom to care, wear hair- kinky curly, wavy or knot
Freedom is when you've got it locked

Free-dom,
Free-idiom
Free-dem; Free-dumb

Freedom to sum
Freedom of a bum
Freedom to wealth when there is none

Freedom to self preservation
Freedom to police protection
Freedom to access salvation- that's freedom packed

Freedom to live
Freedom to give
Freedom to be law of mischief

Freedom to shop
Freedom to act
Freedom is to be a matter offact
