[bodytext] => In The Name Of freedom
The vacuity of total freedom is a straitjacket of disbelief, there is no credo other than the shallow philosophy of business men and the inane uttering of celebrities. The right to personal happiness is the buzzword and never mind who has to pay the price. Those who can get children wont because a career is more important, postpone it to it’s too late and lament Those who can’t try to cheat nature and Mary next door who is unmarried and have five is vilified, yet she is the one that secure a nation’s soldiers of tomorrow. In the modern suburbia men talk sport, women shopping, no one talks politics as long as oil is cheap and no one asks question that leaves a sense of uneasiness and when death knock on the door it’s dressed up beautified and forgotten, only the sense that there is more to life remains. I’m thinking of John Walker who became a Taliban and got twenty years for his quest to find a meaning with his life other than the emptiness of egocentric fulfilment, that leads to alcohol and drug abuse, or right wing christianity, which is the soulless and unforgiving religion of capitalism.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
