Ain't no Freedom

Ain't no Freedom

A Poem by Latifa
"

pray for me my fellow writers, this is a crucial time of my life.

"



fractured, fragile, flying
ain't no more flying
the feathers are soaked in water
ain't no more flying

blunt,  brute ,blades of ego
cuts the wings and soak the feather in water
blunt,brute, blades of the old man's ego
gash the young bird's wings with ego
ain't no more flying

hell, ain't no freedom!
hell, ain't no living!
slavery has worn the cloak of ego
to hang the bird's freedom

Dear Latifa,

I here the injustice and pain. Too much ego is a terrible thing and by definition always unjustified. Besides, if they are as good as the ego tells them they are than why are they being so overbearing? My father always told me that the mediocre man rises by stepping on the heads of others, and that the great man rises and pulls others up with him. Ego comes from the mediocre. The truly great have no time for such nonsense.

So lift you winds and fly.

Greatly enjoyed the poem. High marks.
