FREE - my just written poem or whatever you want to call it inspired by Stevie Wonder's Song "Free"

I have been busily working on my new effort due out by tomorrow and I was listening to Stevie Wonder's Song "Free." Just search for the video on www.youtube.com After listening to it, I thought about how busy we often become that we forget to smell the roses. How we allow the doldrums of life to creep in and stifle our joy and peace of mind. How we needlessly suffer on this spinning ball when we could really have a better life. So I penned a small poem. I am not a poet, I repeat, I am not a poet but as a writer I wanted the statement inside to flow so here it is entitled "Free."

"Free"


Since you’ve taken my freedom in lifeTake it not away in deathThe strangling dischord of hate rob my piece of mind Freedom asks nothing yet gives everythingHow come you cannot free me?What is it to you that I want to roam the plains?What is it to you that my face wants to bathe in sun-rays?Every man must meet his fate. Every Seraphim must sing praise.On the altar of selfishness the world dies while few liveBut what is life when misery aboundsCan you really quench your thirst when my lips are too parched to sip?Can you taste the smoothness of tender braised steak when my aching bones I cannot bear?Are you responsible for my happiness?You’ll be glad to hear that the answer is no.Are you going to allow me to be free?Not in death but in this life?
