Love Can Only Exist In A Free Universe 6.17.2008 Poem by Margaret Alice

Here’s my theory: Looking at love
and happiness, at success and
progress, chalking up examples
of prosperity and mental stability

While according everyone else
the freedom to choose for them-
selves to creatively experience
all possibilities, even those

We dislike ourselves; knowing there
is only a choice between likes and
dislikes; honouring what we dislike
as worthy of existence -

Freedom will grow and love will be
set free of the bonds that are con-
stricting it now - love and freedom
are presently seen as

Mutually exclusive, yet without
freedom all love dies in the end;
love can only exist - in a free
universe!
