Freedom's Train

Freedom's Train

A Poem by BruceJackson
"

Freedom is a destination, not a dream. Let's get on board to reach the destination together.

"

Get on board.

Get on the train,

The one headed to Freedom.

No rails.  No cars.

No tickets needed.

We've got conductors.

They'll lead the way.

We've got a destination.

We're headed to Freedom.

 

Will you come?

Or, will you stay?

Will you stay in the same place,

Expecting a new thing to appear?

Or, will you come?

Will you stay in dreary and drudgery?

Or, will you come?

Will you continue to live under Master's lash?

Or, will you come?

We're headed to Freedom.

I just want to know.

Tell something today.

Will you join us?

Will you come along?

The train is leaving now.
