#poetryslamtwo A Notion of Freedom

in poetryslamtwo •  8 years ago  (edited)

Clutching, grasping, striving
Struggling for this idea
Where outside interferance becomes
Past notion
No nation

Start the day free
Then look around
Then leave the house
This notion
This nation

Do this, purchase that
Or we'll shoot you
Lock you up, take your kids
This notion
Their nation

No smoke, no fish, no garden
Without your paid permission slip
Or else you struggle more
Their notion
Slave nation

Lock me up, take my stuff
I will feel no different
My freedom shines inside
This notion
My nation

You cannot take my thoughts
My feelings, my ideals
My only true posessions
My notion
My nation

The seed was planted long ago
The roots deep and strong
My freedom is myself, it's me
My notion
My nation

No matter your rule or
Your boxes, I AM FREE!
It will always be
Free notion
Free nation
