Freedom Is Born

Freedom Is Born

 

A cloud’s tears

On the ground,

Memory of the sound

of a young boy’s fears.

Lightning in the distance

creates waves of resistance.

Voices shout beneath it all;

No one thought this too would fall.

Hundreds die, then hundreds more,

Bodies adorn

the floor

and freedom is born?

My thoughts are with the people of Egypt. Very strong poem, Inda.

[Baby Ricochet]

The goings on in Egypt is heart breaking

[K. Louis]

It's so unfortunate what goes on in the world...I have a soft spot for egypt as I have friends there. Freedom is never born under the knife.

[Inda]

It is unfortunate that violence comes so easily to us and peace is such a abstract concept to some.
