Freedom
Give us us free!
Whence came the word struggle?
Whence came the word pain?
Whence came the word abuse?
Whence came the word exploitation?
…Freedom…freedom!
What is it, where is it…. how do we find it…how do i find it?
What is it worth…a mans life…two…maybe three..perhaps a million?
Is it an illusion, a carrot dangling on a stick for abused and abusers alike…who is happy then? Is she happy? is he happy? are they happy?…am i happy?
What does it mean to be free?…to feel free….
What do we fight for?…what do we die for?….
Does it make sense…to want to be free i mean.
Does it make sense if the comprehension of that state, that…that freedom elludes us…elludes me…
What then, is living…what then is life without freedom?
Welcome to Afrika…welcome to my world…
