False Freedom
An illusion called freedom condemn our wellbeing,
Hatred and racism consumes our mind state,
Democracy which gave us rights is contradicting itself
We left confused between rights and wrong while
Our constitution is torn apart by greedy and dysfunctional
Leaders we supposed to look upon.
Instead of living with peace and prosperity we’re living
To survive and hope for a better tomorrow though we
Were once promised a better future, our problem we
Never evolve yet revolve to those apocryphal promises
We were once promised by our so called leaders.
We are all universal yet we tent to over populate our
Intellect with conceptual thoughts that we ain’t equally
Sane, competition nor challenge are vivid that we fear,
I mean once one distinguishes his or her dreams nor goals
We tent to extinguish through jealousy and hatred simply
Because we don’t want to evolve.
“We are living in a free world” so they say, it’s just the
System that lives us vulnerable and obscure to the ultimate
Reality that we are deluded into freedom, what’s freedom
If we still struggle to co-exist with our distant relatives we
Came to call foreigners, let’s break this boundaries between
Our native lands and become one once again.
