A Christmas Wish

  
Call it delusion  
if it’s easier to label as insane    
I won’t swap my freedom    
for the keys to these here chains  
I know who supported  
when there was nothing to gain  
or the investors who only appear    
when my stock has risen again    
   
No sunset to ride off into    
no happy ending it seems    
when achieving your goals    
means sacrificing your dreams  
but there’s an eternity    
that lives in between    
where being free  
isn’t idealistic or an unachievable extreme    
   
You can’t buy a ticket    
or bribe your way in  
can’t sneak in the back  
hide, waiting for the show to begin    
it’s not a race    
that the fastest can win  
or some place painted    
on the lid of an expensive biscuit tin  
   
It lives in your head  
in your soul and your heart    
in music, in song    
poetry, sport travel and art  
It lives in those things, places or people    
we love from finish to start    
success is measured in happiness    
only the free can achieve    
what I wish for us all before this world we depart    
   
   
Peace love and freedom to all x
