Freedom


I lay in the warm sun, and whine because it is not hot.
 
 
 
    A soldier just died so I would stay in warm air, not war.
 
 
 
I ate a piece of toast that was burnt.
 
 
 
I whined because it was burnt.
 
 
 
    A soldier was just burned by the hit of a bullet from an enemy.
 
 
 
I go to school, and have so much homework!
 
 
 
    Soldiers fight so all girls can do what I find a burden.
 
 
 
I go dancing class and express myself.
 
 
 
   A soldier could not save a girl who wanted to dance in the sun.
 
 
 
I am free, they are not.
 
 
 
what really is freedom?
 
 
 
Is it worth so many lost lives?
