Free Beings

Free Beings

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet

humans are free beings
don't tread on me to
I tread where I please
the irreparable contradiction
of property rights and open borders
stake a claim yourself
and the angry mob wants to abuse it
but the irreparable contradiction
of commercial ease and national identity
the free beings want both
the individual and the collective,
the stability of government and
the uncertainty of liberty
and while the shades of anarchy
dream of pure statelessness,
the biology of self-preservation
and self-identity keeps telling
those dreamers that getting laid
is a lot easier when the world is
not such a fucked-up, chaotic place
the past polar opposites 
of godly capitalism 
and godless communism 
kept the people content
and producing heirs
strong government and
strong group identity and
strong leadership perception
are the intangibles of
human interactions
when the world is perceived
to be stable, the pants shall drop 
and the f*****g shall commence

anarchy and liberty are curbed by biology

the naturalistic fallacy does not exist

the evidence is civilization itself

collectivized, centralized civilization
is what occurred

and humankind developed
property rights along with
social programs and
opinions about those things
that many people just didn't
care to hear or investigate
tread where you need and
you don't get tread on and
that maxim is guaranteed
now more than ever before
to whatever level of magnification,
you're a prisoner of nature and
the design that came with it
free beings in a wide, open nature,
the unresolved contradiction that still 
functions quite well despite the human 
inability to crack it fully
absurdity is normalcy after all

Rarely in my life. I have knew freedom. Most of us forgot freedom. Many kinds of prisons. Work, accepting less and living for the wrong things. I liked this poem. Make the reader think and ponder many things. Thank you Kenneth for sharing the outstanding poetry.
