By Alice Eaglefeather

Freedom matters

Yes, Freedom matters

But no one knows if she breathes.

Is Freedom free to choose,

Free to go

Free to love

Free to be

Free to vote

Free to die

Free to debate?

And I want to reiterate

Freedom of the Press

Of course, Freedom matters

But does she live?

Sweet will be the day Freedom is

Free from bias

Free from prejudice

Free from the past

Free from clutter

Free from anxiety

Free from debt

If only Freedom was rent-free

Alas, Greed has her cold wicked blade

Pressed against Freedom’s throat

Greed is jealous, and at times, vile.

She has blood on her shoes

Those possessed by Greed are treacherous

They care not for their kin

“Pay for your beloved Freedom!” Greed howls-

Far away from the war, in some grand old hall

And you will. Because it is an honor to live and die

Fighting for the day Freedom rules
