Freedom And Liberty

There in the ocean mist and seas
Over the slick ocean rocks to liberty
Questions rise and fall with the waves
Dancing here can anyone be brave

Freedom! Freedom! is still my song
While in government slavery others wish to belong
I take my boat and I set sail
Distant lands these days only fail

Shackles and chains, they only hurt the brain
Laws, rules, regulations liberty they have slain
The seas emerald mists rise ever high
Pale yellow promises swirl in the sky

I sing my song of life long tragedies
Gone is freedom and liberty as realities
So I leave on my boat across the ocean
Forever I will ride in freedoms perpetual motion

I look back years behind me
Gone forever is freedom and liberty
Even the ocean has gone dark and somber
Mankind by choice is free no longer

Very powerful words. Freedom is found in our mind and needs to be protected. It only dies if we kill it. We can breath life into freedom one breath at a time. By seeking peace inside our selves and sharing it one person at a time. Impact us with positive vibes and you will unlock the chains with your fantastic talent.

the howl of a thinker, a artist above the sand ,and where did the others go? buried deep in their lemming line,believing their selfish futures,padding their pockets ,squeezing the sponge of accountability ,cutting the buffaloes down , Swinging the sychle through the tallest stalks of wheat, maybe but apathetic anointed they reality themselves to death.

I love the way you wrote this. It's beautiful yet very sad. Someone knowing they are no longer free and safe in their country and set on a journey to escape but there is now no where in the world where freedom and liberty exist anymore. Yet the dream is there, a dream not likely to be fulfilled. Beautiful imagery in this, love the ocean photos too.

Oh, we have lost so very much.........our freedom is in question, as well as should we choose to live in another place - you pose some very interesting thoughts!! We have done so much damage I too wonder if we shall ever again know our country, our earth as we have known it!
A thought provoking write my friend!
