Freedom? Or Loose Chains

            I

Are we really free?

Or are we bound but blind?

Held down by society

Eyes full of money

           II

Are we really free?

Or is the government pulling the strings?

We are slaves to political strings

Cant we have emancipation

           III

Are we really free?

Or are we chained to acceptance?

Forced to believe false truths

Can we cure this selective poisoning?

           IV

Are we ever going to be free?

Or are we forever tied to loose chains?

The exit's in sight

But we can never reach that last stretch

Is this really freedom?

Or are we held down...

By our own humanity?

~Author notes

This poem was inspired by class today when our teacher discussed the government. It tells us how we are SUPPOSEDLY free, but we are held down by chains of laws and society's acceptance.

Its not supposed to have a happy end because in reality we still struggle in real world problems that classify as chains.
