A Free World Poem by Dave Alan Walker

A Free World

Rating: 4.6


Oh lord see me
tell me I'm still free
I see non existent chains
wrapped around me

In a world of opportunity
I thought we was free
but I have a feeling
some ones watching me

Oh lord save me
take all these eyes off of me
why is there no peace
in the land of the free

It seems to me
the only way anybody can be free
is if they are not breathing

Well said Dave, it used to be a free country, but it seems that our freedom is being eroded away bit by bit, and slowly but surely.

Too right Dave, guess it will be onward going, invisible chains holding on to us, and a few very visible, such is life.

as long as freedom is bought and sold, there can be no freedom!

'None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free' (J. W. Von Goethe) . Snowden has shown that you were right.

The only way one can be free is to be honest about life. We weave to many strings We tell to many selfish lies just to stay on top.. I love this writing. Simple, far sighted and deep. Congrats Mohabeer Beeharry I have just posted a poem. A touch of light There could be something for you there. Thank you.

freedom, freedom, freedom is what every living longs for, i like thinking of a free society where people get equal share like any one else. Good poem Dave.
