Ask yourself: Reflections of a disquieted Society in a poem

“I embrace you“ Freedom in our venue, it's intertwined If you contribute, economic ties bind Some remain unfree, no one can deny If they miss the train that sets them high If they fail to see the train, complicating all Well, rules will come, they must heed the call Their employer might then say to them: Dear, My freedom needn't be your freedom, I fear My freedom? Yes! Yours? Denied! Mine guaranteed by the constitution's stride Your freedom hasn't piqued much attention While mine dances, yours awaits ascension My freedom means conducting business with flair Your freedom means a position with my care As you purchase my goods, I give you a role Thus your freedom incurs no financial toll And so it remains, my freedom, my prize Yours, absorbed by mine, truthfully lies Without my freedom, yours also falls apart My freedom becomes your dutiful part So I tell…


“I embrace you“

Freedom in our venue, it's intertwined
If you contribute, economic ties bind

Some remain unfree, no one can deny
If they miss the train that sets them high

If they fail to see the train, complicating all
Well, rules will come, they must heed the call

Their employer might then say to them: Dear,
My freedom needn't be your freedom, I fear

My freedom? Yes! Yours? Denied!
Mine guaranteed by the constitution's stride

Your freedom hasn't piqued much attention
While mine dances, yours awaits ascension

My freedom means conducting business with flair
Your freedom means a position with my care

As you purchase my goods, I give you a role
Thus your freedom incurs no financial toll

And so it remains, my freedom, my prize
Yours, absorbed by mine, truthfully lies

Without my freedom, yours also falls apart
My freedom becomes your dutiful part

So I tell you, defend my freedom, take a stand
With weapons in hand, your children's hands, grand

So they never forget, at work, at play
The essence of freedom, come what may

My freedom should be your utmost decree
My freedom remains true, even unto death's decree

If it seems illogical, my friend, have no strife
Without my freedom, you'd lead an unemployed life

Yes, freedom differs from reckless dept
But so it entails diligence, masculinity, and sweat

Let me tell you what freedom means today
Preserving the status quo, come what may

Thus, in any case, my freedom reigns higher
Than your freedom, aspiring to aspire

My freedom, centuries old, an enduring creed
Your freedom may come soon, indeed

But for now, your freedom ambition's in vain
No power, no organization, no gain

I'd be foolish to relinquish my freedom's grace
So I'll keep it, your freedom won't find a place

…Not yet, my friend, not yet, embrace.
