What’s Freedom Anyway?

Freedom is simply living meaningfully

Walking on the streets without fear,

Fear of being stalked or stabbed for no valid reason to infer.

Praying at a place of worship with the peace it needs,

Without having to feel the pressure of where you belong.

Talking the language of your choice,

Respecting the other voices and sounds around.

Freedom should be life sans fear,

Freedom from fear is what counts.

Restrictions matter and respecting them,

That is where freedom must stem.

Futile debates and protests stand no ground.

Life in harmony,

With nature and humanity,

Life with value,

With hope and sanity,

That is what living in freedom is.
