Freedom

by

Katherine Tildes

I'd like to say that I'm not racist
But I cant
I'd like to say I'm not sexist
But I cant
I'd like to say I don't care
And it doesn't matter
But I do
And it does

Id like to say this world is free
But its not
And that its happy
But its not that
Id like to say everyone is free
To do as they wish
To live as they do
To love who they wish,
But I cant.

Its sad
But all true
We are all blinded by what we think is truth
Its falsity to the nth degree
This world is full of hate
Anger
Oppression
Resentment
And war

A change needs to happen
Something needs to rise
Where are all the free spirits?
The hippies
The peacekeepers
The lovers
Not fighters
We need this to stop
And we need it done now.
