Is it the right of every man To consider himself free Oppressions eased by justice No need for locks or keys Freedom is not always physical Interred within a cell Expression of strong ideologies Or of notions strongly held If I am religious Or politicised by my life Agnostic and secular Underfoot, downtrodden The victim hung by strife Am I due true liberty From those whom I count as foe Should I expect to live in peace Tyrants overthrown Or must I simply take it Accepting that this my all Escape an impossibility Until my cards are thrown If I were imprisoned Having committed heinous crimes I'd get what I deserve to get Judged by what I am Is it acceptable? In this our only world That we are unable to help those We witness in distress Imprisoned with impunity Punished by duress AGL
