What Freedom Is Poem by Jon Yttri

What Freedom Is



Freedom is not "turn me loose, so I can go out and raise hell."
Freedom is "release me, so I can help others and do well."
Freedom is not "I don't have to be quiet, just because you want to sleep."
Freedom is "I can do what I want so long as quiet I keep."
Freedom is not "I am in charge and no one can tell me what to do."
Freedom is "put me in charge, so I can help you."
Freedom is not "let's destroy them, so they'll quit bugging us."
Freedom is "let's bring joy to them, so they'll start hugging us."
