You Are Free

Included in "A Yellow Sunshine Night" Mahogany Rain Publishing ISBN:978-0981852942

I was working through a 
radical frame of mind 
suggested by the demons 
that circled around me. 
Tribes and nations 
screamed their knowledge. 
Such evil coming forth! 

What is there to know? 
To know of hate and violence; 
Rules and regulations, 
and, 
the power of ego-tripping 
mortals playing at being God. 

A glass rested on my table, 
formerly being full of 
a green liquid 
that some commercial 
said I would love. 

Now the glass is empty 
and I am thinking 
'What was the thrill? ' 

The bizarre thing is 
that somebody sat up all night 
thinking up a con game 
to get me to buy it. 
Seemingly it is better 
to coerce things on me 
than wait for me to 
decide for myself. 

Last night I dreamt of 
castles and surrender. 
Fog and rain, melting 
down the resistance to 
actually be a man. 

Freedom is declared 
illegal if it contradicts 
the will of doing it. 

Doing it! 
What athought! 
Actually stepping out 
and declaring your 
emancipation. 

Being your own 
piece of paper 
to prove, 

YOU ARE FREE!

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the strong and honest thoughts in the poem. Your words express the emotion of many who are scare for the future. I ask myself daily. What have I done to insure my child will have a fair chance? I like the ending a lot. Thank you for your always thoughts provoking poetry.

so observant!

[WhiteWillow]

Love the dichotomy of every day real life, and dreams, entertwined. Dichotomous, yet telling the same story, making the same point. An intriguing write.
