Covid Freedom Poem by Sylvia Chidi

In this era, we have lost our freedom
Covid-19 has emerged uninvited into our Kingdom
It is spoken man is born equal and free
To a degree the world disagrees
Some foresee what others cannot see
Freedom is walking away with a glee

Covid has denied us a right to enjoy a shopping spree
Covid has refused us a right to travel the land and the sea
Covid has deprived us to a proper educational degree
Covid has denied all of us of our individual identity
It has prevented us access to our loved ones and families

Stop the silly talking
Whilst Freedom is walking
Freedom is not a jubilee
Freedom is not a guarantee
Who says Freedom is free?

Stop the silly talking
Whilst Freedom is walking
Freedom is not part of community
Freedom is never an informality
Who says Freedom is immunity?

We want opinion without distinction
We want a world without discrimination
We want a kingdom of utter freedom
We want it in all shapes and form

Covid has divided us globally
With the vaccinated against the unvaccinated
Covid has caged all of us in our homes
No more travelling to places that are personally designated
We are all prisoners to Covid

Stop the silly talking
Whilst Freedom is walking
Stop the silly talking
Whilst Freedom is mocking
Freedom is not for all
Freedom is certainly not a festive ball
