Freedom.
Are we ever really free?
Or did we just escape one set of rules to another?
Freedom.
I do not believe in freedom.
Freedom.
Is a funny thing.
The shark is not free.
The shark is caged
by the ocean.
The bird is not free.
The bird is trapped
in the air.
The trees are not free.
The trees are stuck,
rooted in the ground,
and stuck in the soil.
You are even less free.
You are stuck,
trapped,
caged by the rules of society.
Freedom.
Not even in death are we free.
Trapped in heaven.
Maybe hell.
Trapped in Valhalla.
Maybe another body.
Maybe we cease to exist.
How can you be free without existing?
Freedom.
I do not believe in freedom.
intriguing!
your perspective on freedom is interesting to see! i like that you had a definition of freedom for this piece. to me, freedom is a concept that can change—one that we can decide the limitations/confines of. anyways, super thought-provoking piece!
