A plea for freedom, love, and life’s fullness.

Let me speak my mind, let me rage when I need to,
For the freedom to express is the breath of democracy,
Where thoughts flow like rivers, unrestrained and unafraid,
Let me love my country and its women fiercely,
With a passion that mirrors the strength of a nation,
Where respect and honor are not just words, but actions.

Let me fill my lungs with air, unrestrained,
For every breath is a testament to the right to life,
Let me have the right to read every book ever written,
To drink deeply from the well of knowledge,
As did the thinkers of the Enlightenment,
Who fought for the light of truth in a world of shadows.

Let me know the history that shaped us,
To understand the paths we tread,
And emerge from the dark tunnels dug deep by centuries,
Just as those who have struggled against the weight of oppression,
Rising into the light of freedom.
