Freedom! he cried,
Or so the film said.
In legends and myths
Our heroes are made.
And they die.
By peace and resistance,
Gandhi’s evocation.
In love and by actions,
Recreate nation.
And we live.
By power and mistrust,
Dictators’ lips spoke such words.
Vilify, conquer,
Hand to the sword.
And we hate.
Love one another
As I have loved you,
Messianic message.
Nothing more true.
And we love.
What lives on in legend
And myths we espouse
Are the ideas and concepts
That build each new house.
We create.
Freedom, no myth,
For with free will we’re born
Tho’ in life, servitude
Snips until shorn.
But we hope.
Hope in our freedom,
A liberty voice,
Our actions, our words,
Heroic choice.
For we are.
