Free! Poem by Eric Cockrell
Free!
</>
free!
free to be hungry!
free to be homeless!
free to be underpaid!
or worse, free to be unemployed.
free to be sick without care!
free to be the object of racial prejudice.
free to be oppressed by the 'haves'!
free to be subjugated to unholy wars!
free to be lied to!
free to be used!
free to be American!
free!
'freedom's just another word
for nothing left to lose! '

I think I understand the outcry against the abuse of the word free by greedy politicians. What does 'freedom' stand for, if the greed of a few (who are allowed to free falsehoods) makes the many suffer? I think someone needs to make a new political party, the kindness party.

He and Bobby McGee will know what you're talking about. You are free in the choices you make. Great poem.
