Freedom

We may, you may, I may

live in a fools’ paradise

A place where I

believe, you believe,

we believe, we are

free

But are we, you,

or me?

We can live a

whole life and

not know. I may

not know, you

may not know

Freedom

is illusive

We, you and I, can

live our lives

as if

Our, my, your, choices

are governed by

You, me, us

And within

our, my, your

small circle

this may be

But in a moment

Nature interferes 

Wars erupt

Governments fail

Handouts disappear

Communities are lost

We, you, me,

are lost

 to catastrophe
