Clinging to Freedom
Freedom for creative thought
Freedom from restrictions taught
Depictions may, or may be not
Received as the writer intended
Perspectives defended
Say so much more
About the reader’s disposition
Then can ever be implored
From the authors rendition
And still, this condition
They fame the writer
Blame the writer
Shame the writer
Sometimes claim the writer’s position
Ashamed of their very own thoughts
Afraid of what they are not
Fraught with indecision
Sustaining hard fought Impositions
As a needed means for shelter
Against confessing to themselves
What they keep in mental cellars
Acquitted of complicity
By bravado and rigidity’s
Mask of co-dependence
While fishing empty compliments
From poisoned pools of common sense
Clinging to freedom
Threatened by the consequence
Of humiliating actions
This author offers
No redactions
Recipients are responsible
For their own read actions
What ever happened
To sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will never hurt me
Oh, so true
It is you who make them worthy
Governmental advice
Poorly given forcefully
Social media endorsing
Modern day “sorcery”
Emotional intelligence
Control your feelings
We are not chimpanzees
We are human beings
Taking sensitivity
To ruthless extremes
From happy peaceful pipe dreams
To condescending caustic complaining
Either way draining
From everyone’s energy
And the right to be free
