Does a democracy give you freedom?
Does that freedom free you from slavery?
To lust and power and to greed and jealousy
We are slaves. To habits who is not a slave?
Fear of police and fear of rulers
Haunt us always; wants and needs enslave us.
Hunt for food and sex acts as a shackle.
Fight and flight takes away your freedom.
Prey and predator tussles go on.
Accidents and disasters are masters.
An added fear is God's punishment.
You lost your freedom, out of mother's womb.
