Freeform poem on freedom.

 

When you listen to music, listen and enjoy

But when you sing, sing without music, or

When you dance, dance without music.

 

Because if you sing to a tune, or

Dance to a tune

You cannot be free.

 

To be truly free

You need to move and be

Outside any constrictive structure.

 

And even more important

When you think,

Think freely, without any constraint

From authority and dogma.

 

 

Willie Maartens

Willie, when I sing I do so with music, then if folk do not wish to listen to me there is always the music.

Oh, I shall be singing in church next Sunday without music.

to be truly free we must think wisely and from our hearts without conforming to the beliefs and whims of the world ... insightful and perceptive thoughts you've presented in this poem ...
