No Freedom

There is no freedom when there is atrocity.

There is no freedom when there is genocide.

There is no freedom when there is hate.

There is no freedom when there is injustice.

Freedom is the dream of all people.

Freedom is the dream for dignity.

Freedom is the dream for equality.

Freedom is the dream for respect.

There is no freedom under lying politicians.

There is no freedom with nuclear proliferation.

There is no freedom with preemptive war.

There is no freedom when there is torture.

Freedom seems a fading dream.

Freedom hides from the dogs of war.

Freedom dies at the hands of politicians.

Freedom needs a champion.

Freedom still is the hope of children.
