Freedom Isn't Carefree



Freedom isn't carefree.
It is a self-control.
Freedom isn't hapless. It is a major goal.

Freedom isn't carefree.
It is centricity.
Freedom isn't biased. It is ethnicity.

Freedom isn't carefree.
It is accountable.
Freedom isn't license. It is surmountable.

Freedom isn't carefree.
It is a vigilance.
Freedom isn't slapdash. It is a noble stance.

Freedom isn't carefree.
It is a leverage.
Freedom isn't humdrum. It is a privilege.
