No Longer Free

In a society with so much control and pressure into the status quo.Just how free are we really?

A fools errand

A devils bargain

Wake up and smell

Roses straight from hell

That sore temptress

Ever so close that stench

Tis but the smell of freedom

 

A hunger not quite satisfied

Like a long lost dream

An oasis cast astray

A mere whim in the wind

Tantalizing like gold

Tis but the thought of freedom

 

An ideal so bold

No cost too much

With the devils touch

Men must persevere

Or give up their lust

For an ideal called freedom

 

Trade offs come and go

Join the status quo

Merely the idea, now a definition

A promise lost

No longer worth keeping

For the truth behind

Glorious lady liberty

Realities cost

We all must pay

No matter what we say

To realize freedom no longer frees you
