Freedom

Freedom is what all men strive for,
it's something we won't mind dying for.
Some men are gifted freedom at birth,
and the rest are left to earn it with life.

To be free is to be one with life,
to have clear mind free of grief,
to feel boundlessness and infinity,
but still rooted to physical reality.

The body is free in today's world,
but the mind is conditioned.
Ideas restricted to suit others,
by rules to make a man civilized.

Once freed from the conditioning,
we hunger for freedom from baggage,
with desire of the joy of being alive,
one waits all life till death sets him free.

A lucky few don't have to wait,
for they are blessed with grace.
If freed from life before death,
they are set free for eternity.
