Freedom

That feeling, like when you can fly, Seems to only reach some by suicide

When the Dow goes down, then the funds,

Go down,

then the fun goes down

And people begin to drown

Its that

Real life, in the USA,

While young men fight wars,

Free guns means Freedumb, means,

black male in jail,

Freedom for some means that

maker they meet because food

aint free

and jobs

aint free,

and money still don’t grow on trees, its that

Child who sees the life he wants to lead, but

the life he has to lead is a whole other thing,

Getting as much education as he can afford,

because at some point he was afforded freedoms,

but education

aint free,

and teachers work for free,

and free lunch was never a healthy thing, and

That freedom guaranteed after Juneteenth,

guaranteed that half of us would only see what is seen

And not see what is there,

and only see on TV,

and never see overseas,

and never see what can be,

they only see what they see,

and what they see is what happens,

when freedom and freedom

don’t mean the same thing.
