Freedom imitated, <br />Can never be a freedom... <br />Manifested to appreciate. <br />It would be underrated sooner or later. <br />With a taste for it to ultimately fade. <br /> <br />Not analyzed is a freedom to connive. <br />Or diminished in masquerade... <br />For purposes to degrade its meaning. <br />Freedom has to be at one's own pace. <br />To know what it takes to keep it salivated. <br /> <br />Freedom is not minimized. <br />True freedom is always maximized, <br />To realize its value. <br />And never is it in a race to chase, <br />To regulate another's fate. <br /> <br />True freedom is never ruled to control. <br />True freedom is a flowing one has, <br />And knows... <br />Freedom, <br />For what it is and felt!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
