I’m in Love


I’m in love
Deep, deep love
With the invisible
With the arduous
A love I no longer can conceal
V-sign representing victory over tyranny and thus freedom

I’m in love with the pretty
With the most romantic of all
With the pleasant to look at
To smell
To touch
To kiss and breathe

I’m in love with an idea
An idea that has eluded us all
A priceless idea Stolen most often
And traded for less
An idea my people cry for
I’m in love with freedom

Freedom denied to us
By our very own sons who run our lives:
Our despotic governments
Because they have the guns
To intimidate us, to shed our blood,
To take away our lives, so we live in bondage for ever
