Is There Real Freedom?
Is There Real Freedom?
 
 The world is a court
 You peers are the jury
 The judge is the not accepting thoughts
 
 The school makes the rules
 The community enforces them
 And the nation condemns you for you actions
 
 We all where a mask
 We all think about what others think
 We all know they’re watching us
 Waiting for us to screw up
 
 They say you should just be yourself
 But we only take off part of the mask
 We fear we may anger them
 Possibly upset them
 
 The world has its rules
 Your friends have their rules
 You have your rules
 Are we truly free
 
 Maybe their is a reason we aren’t
 We don’t want thieves
 We don’t want murderers
 We don’t want to be treated badly
 We don’t want freedom
 
 Or do we?
