A Land Without Liberty
by Frank Elkins
In a land without liberty…
There is no freedom.
Only those who are incarcerated,
and those waiting to be.
In a land without liberty…
There is no pursuit of happiness.
Only the constant struggle for survival,
filled with sorrow and a fear of tomorrow.
In a land without liberty…
There are no human rights.
Only the whim of those in power,
which perpetually increases hour by hour.
In a land without liberty…
There is no purpose or meaning.
Only the drudgery of a lifetime sentence,
deprived of a chance to declare independence.
In a land without liberty…
There is no you or me.
No possibility to ever live free.
We’re just cogs in a wheel,
spinning the way corrupt leaders feel;
forced always to do what others demand…
Who would choose to live in such a land?
