And with joy that is almost pain
My heart goes back to wander there,
And among the dreams of the days that were,
I find my lost youth again.

What is freedom?
How is freedom related to liberty?
Liberty conveys the idea of the right or the ability of the individual to do what he wants. Freedom on the other hand is a word which contains inbuilt restrictions.
A free society contains individuals who are free to do what they do, whilst respecting the freedoms of others.
Freedom is the liberty of the individual coupled with concern by the liberated individual for the liberties of others.
POEMS ; cries of freedom .
Freedom is just
A word a thing
People say
Freedom is a thing
Every man deserves
Lust, greed, envy
Is what this word brings
War a word unloved
Comes from this
Wars won, wars lost
Freedom has come at late
Freedom is just
A thing a word
That allows a man
To greed, lust, and envy
It allows one to desire
No law there is none
Twisted, tormented
It has become
Limits needed yet refused
Conflict inflicts a pain
A tourniquet limited
Freedoms
Not deserved a beautifulThing
No love of freedom
No love of self
No love of neighbor.
