Freedom.by mwaura gathuka

If being free ain't freedom,

then what?

is freedom;

sworing with the majestic vultures,

gliding with the fierce hawks,

or

flying with the humble doves.

Is freedom;

clear blue skies,

cool ocean breeze.

palms tree dancing to the rythm of the wind,

a warm sun shinning down on you,

white sand caressing your toes

while the mesmerising blue sea soothes your ego;

your demons.

Is freedom;

cruising across the vast

plain lands,

Savannah lands, 

grass lands.

taking in the fresh unpolluted free air,

''FREEDOM''

you shout to the world,

just because you stand on the dome of kilimanjaro;

'hakuna matata' 

Is freedom;

money?

newyork,london,hong kong,

living without boaders.

discovering new worlds;

fashion,sport,entertainment,

corporates,different cuisines and cultures.

Is freedom ;

the opposite of poverty?

hunger,malnutrition,insecurity,shanty shelters.

life sentence for pity crimes

while rich walk free;crime against humanity.

Is freedom;

freedom from the bars of jail?

freedom from forced labour,slavely obbression

or

is freedom;

opening your mind to new perspective,ideas,

that the vulture can only fly so high 

beneath the clouds,

oceans never reach land,

seas are not blues to their doing,

blue skies are just 

but a limit to the eyes

but not the mind.

If being free is a stepping stone

to freedom,

is a tree doomed to eternal bondage?
