That hasn't seen
The sea.
From behind the
Cage it learnt
To sing instead.
Freedom is an animal
That hasn't seen
The wild.
From behind a fence
In the zoo,
It made a kid laugh.
Freedom is my granny
Who hasn't been
Beyond the limits
Of a village.
From her own world,
The stories she told
Are best I've ever heard.
The wings you flap
When you're fallen.
The dreams you
Hold on even when
You're broken.
Silence where words
Are not needed.
The fight you put up
With bleeding gums
And broken wrists..
Freedom is not
What you're or
Where are you from.
It's what you do
With what you've.
