Empty Promises


echoing sentiments felt deeply within my soul
the old year passes-the new one dawns

years of promises made to myself
many ending without further thought

finally burdens are lifted liberating me
light has allowed my wings to grow

a new life awaits-no more empty promises
away I fly to a future unknown

FREEDOM









FREEDOM



THATS WHAT YOU GET


WHEN YOU FIGHT FOR YOUR BELIEFS


WHEN YOU FIGHT TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE





FREEDOM




TO BE ABLE TO WALK WITHOUT FEAR


WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH


PROUD TO BE WHO YOU ARE






FREEDOM





TO BE ABLE TO BREATHE FREELY


WITHOUT FEAR OF REPRISAL


TO VOICE YOUR OPINIONS






FREEDOM




TO COME HOME AND SEE YOUR CHILDREN


SOUND ASLEEP IN THEIR BEDS SAFE


YOUR WIFE OR HUSBAND HOME





FREEDOM





IS PEACE WITH OUT ROCKETS IN THE AIR


NO BLOOD ON THE GROUND


AIR CLEAN AND CLEAR







FREEDOM





NEVER FORGET THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY


IT IS NEVER FREE


THE COST IS HIGH AND MUST BE PAID






FREEDOM






IS A DREAM THAT MANY HAVE


NOT ALL OF US ARE LUCKY


SOME FIGHT FOR THIS STILL






FREEDOM…SOMEDAY PEACE!

*this is a piece which has been commented on quite a bit.  today's news regarding internet control and freedom of expression has prompted me to post here.  our freedom is taken for granted by many.  we need to keep fighting here at home or we will be taken from within our own country.
