Freedom is a field,

Colorful meadows

And promenades lined with grace.

Freedom is an elegance.

A mercy visited on Earth.

A blessing

To own what’s yours, a responsibility

To save the mugger the burden

Of your weight.

Freedom is the liberty to be you,

Freedom is the liberty to be me.

The freedom to cry, or laugh at will

The freedom to say no

To any shadow cast at your door.

Freedom is like a tree,

Fairness is the root

And happiness the fruit.
