Freedom
FREEDOM
By Costantino Oxinos
Wealth Possessions Greed Ego & War
One half too rich one half too poor
Institutionalised & Paralysed you want my Soul
Narrow minded Corpulence that succeeds to Control
Discrimination Starvation Poverty & Elite
One half too strong one half too weak
Empty hands full of Generations of Pain & Sorrow with Naked Eyes that can’t see Tomorrow
Slavery Trafficking Drug Lords & Galore
One half counting cash one half being a whore
Clutching for a life of More
But left Disappointed & Sore
Blood Diamonds
Blood Money
Blood Shed
Blood Sex
When will it Stop what is Next?
Hurt me Kill me you know not what you do Ignorance & Emptiness is all that lives in you.
Freedom of expression
Freedom of speech
Free from war
Free to be at peace
Freedom of equality, the right to life
Free from dictatorship without a fight
