Poetry

FreedomThey told me that I have all the freedom I could ask forThey told me that I had it because I was born in the United StatesThey told me that I was luckyBecause I have the freedom to think for myselfBecause I have the freedom to criticize the governmentBecause I have the freedom to dress how I wantAnd say what I wantAnd be what I wantAnd these are all freedoms I take advantage of

And because I have the freedom to

learn, I took advantage of thatAnd I learned that there were others without freedomAnd not just in other countriesJust because they’re of another raceJust because they’re of another sexual preferenceJust because they’re of another religionThose are the reasons they don’t get freedomThose are the people who don’t get freedomThose people are the mistakesBecause freedom should be for everybody
