Strings Attached

idk it just flowed

Peace, love

Smoke, fly

Live, free

Drink, die

Live the life you want to

Don’t let them hold you back

There’s so much here among us

It’s time we take it back

They’re only here to guide us

But we let them grow to strong

So we live life in fear,

Fear that we live it wrong

Sure some order is good

It’s something that we crave

But this is to much

This isn’t guidance

This is domination

We live the life they want

Not the one we are supposed to

They keep us from what we must learn

I’m tired of being held back

By all their restrictions

Their laws

Their f*****g commands

But we must live in this land

So lets make the best of it

In this land of the free

With strings attached

yay...I say, people who try to control do it because of fear.. and that is wrong ..as long as your freedom does not harm or control another living thing.. then it is your choice your life .. there is a song by Alanis Morrisette , Called
: No Strings...it;s really good.. as is yours

[Prateeksha Khot]

different style of presentation. I really liked this poem

[The Last Poetic King]

It is true man. We have no more freedom in america. The freedom of what? We cant even drink soda without them telling its bad for us. They frown upon people who smoke now because someone said its bad for them. So is everything else we do or eat or consume in this life. Yet we cant even smoke freely, we can grow our hair out without being looked down upon. We dont have the freedom of religion because if your not christian or anything they frown upon that. They dont have equal rights for gays, but it suppose to be free. So they should have the right to that? We have racism, and we live in a land that isnt even ours in the first place. Great f*****g write man, keep up s**t like this. Eventually we can get enough people to see.

Amen, brother. The poem is somewhat unconventional (I'm not sure whether the spellings are intentional or not), but the message is clear. The format works well for a poem of this sort and the last line says it all (especially for those of us who've lived with strings attached).

Great poem - love what its saying

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This poem is full of life. I felt chains breaking as I read it.
