Being Free Poem by Sindiswa Nobuntu Ndamane

What is being free?

Is being free a feeling?

Is being free an opportunity to live?

If we are free we breath and we embrace the air

The air that gives us life to live,

Not to survive,

How are you free when you live to survive?

Being free is every millisecond of our breath

Of our soul, body and spirit.

If we fall short of any of this being free

Then being free still remain a mystery

Probably a mystery we'll never understand,

How can then we claim we're free

When being free take a step back everyday

How are we free?

Free from self

Free from people

Free from hatred

Free from misunderstanding

Still the probability of being free remains unknown.
