Liberty

I look around and I see

Nothing.

I felt nothing.

I see air, white, black and darkness,

Rules don't exist.

My hand is the only thing that has meaning.

it holds a significance that someone has been trying to explain to me for a few months

but I never listen because it's nonsense.

Nonsense.

Life is nonsense.

It's meaningless to even be under a ruler who wants control and money.

Between the mirror and me is a wall that holds

my life in its clutches.

"Freedom."

That word slipped through my lips with wonder and uncertainty.

I go to meetings that my master has ordered

Sitting there listening to him talk but they never reach

I'm in my own world talking to myself wondering why that word came out of my mouth.

I'm nothing

I'm a soldier

I'm supposed to follow not lead unless it comes for me to lead.

I look at him and my fellow company and I see

Really see

Hate, restriction, no freedom.

I want to be free from fear, from getting hurt, from being killed.

I want Freedom.

I want to be free.

I stared at the moon and saddened at it.

It's sad and I can hear it moaning for something that it wants but can't have.

One word comes to mind.

"Liberty."

Where did that come from?

Is the moon trying to tell me something or is it just my imagination?

It took me awhile to understand why that word came to me

I'm in a world where Liberty doesn't exist.

I wonder how they not know what freedom is.

I feel disappointed that these people haven't experienced real freedom

but a cage, a prison, a cult.

They need to be free and have some liberty

but they don't.

Lord, let me save them and forgive them.
