My land, my existence <br />My legacy, my heritage <br />All I wanted was to be free <br />To not pay before I speak my mind <br />Today I am a free man <br />Today in history <br />I intend to smile again, perhaps cry. <br /> <br />I've been in shock incessantly <br />Ponder like for decade <br />How come freed <br />But still a slave <br />I don't wanna die a freed slave <br />If I die <br />I die a free man. <br /> <br />Liberty is my birthright <br />From where I flee from <br />I see me <br />My future <br />My glorious days <br />This me will come to actual <br />Only but in an alien land.<br /><br />Chuks Kevin Nwaokolo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-freed-slave/
