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.
