Freedom

What does it mean to be free?
To be free is to not be in bondage,
To not be slaves of our minds, technology and to the world,  
To be free is to be able to fight for my rights, for our rights,
To let justice be done by us,
To be free is to not be scorned or treated as less than i am,
less than we are.
 
We as people need to unite,
Brothers ans sisters,
Daughters and sons,
Together as a whole,
We are ONE!.
We may be of different religion or race,
But we bleed the same color,
Breathe in the same air,
Why should politics, racism and religion separate us?
Why must war be the answer?,
Every situation has a solution,
Instead of causing more havoc,  
we should; "Love our neighbors as we love ourselves".
 
War isn't the answer,
It is the innocent children who will suffer,
And we won't be able to hear them out,
"Why?" they ask...
Because of the loud "BANGS!" and "BOOMS!",
of guns and bombs hitting the ground.
Teach the young ones to live in love and unity,
Teach them to be kind, selfless, spiritual human beings,
Teach them these values,
So if not us,
that they will have a chance to be free.
