The Irrational Perception
Of freedom
Is confined to its
Inheritant limitations
By its given definitions
Words caging
Its very meaning
By specific description
Chained to each
Mysterious meaning
Chasing them backwards
Freedom
“1: The quality or state of being free”
* – M-W.com
Quality
“1 a : Peculiar and essential nature”*
State
“1 a : Mode or condition of being”*
“It’s not a free country. You’re born free…
I mean, you are born absolutely free, except for the laws of nature. If you drink, you get drunk. That’s a law. If you get old, you die. That’s a law too. If you sit on a tack, you will bleed from the ass.
These are the only laws they that you’re born with. And any kind of government just #ucks you out that type of freedom.”
– Doug Stanhope
Freedom ought to have the same definition behind it as meaningless. Nothing.
Not as in freedom is meaningless, rather unconfined by rational or irrational attachment to defining words.
Freedom by its very essence, without definition, is whatever the perceiver interprets it as.
Locking it down to a singular understanding incarcerates it more than a prison.
“It’s all about money, not freedom, y’all, okay? Nothing to do with fuckin’ freedom. If you think you’re free, try going somewhere without fucking money, okay?”
Bill Hicks
People peddle their freedom for security, like it is a currency on the exchange market. Trading it when the tide rolls in, or when the wind blows.
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
