Manifesto Of The Free

Manifesto Of The Free

A Poem by Mike Davies


I want to stand for the truth
I want to try my best at all times and not get distracted
To remain focused and fiercely committed
To stand tall in the long grass and to aim high with every shot
To remain true to myself, no matter what
I want to stand for the truth and be pure of heart
To just be myself in the company of fakes
To be one with the world and to be at peace with the stars
To combine the wisdom of age with the energy of youth
To be impeccable and beyond the reach of any man’s price
To fight those who oppose me with laughter and humility
To stare into the sun and not go blind
To lead from the front and not from behind
I don’t want to keep this to myself
I want to teach it to others
So that every heart sings in the key note of freedom
And is raised above the raw drudgery of monotonous routine
I want to stand for the truth, for fairness and equality
Where every man, woman and child is given the chance to reach their highest
potential
To take the path of the heart and not the easy expressway to oblivion
To go within ourselves and to aim for something that is eternal and unwavering
That flows through us all and comes out of nothing and defies explanation
And can never be defeated
A force that requires only love in an open heart and can make you feel you have the
power of the sun in your hands
That is how I want to feel
Not to live in fear, but to live in freedom
Freedom does not distinguish between rich and poor
It does not recognize religion or ideology
Nor does it favour one race over another
Freedom is the fruit of the Spirit and Spirit has the power to bring us all together
To sweep aside all our differences and to make us feel greater than our sum parts

• We can go beyond fear, beyond prejudice and ignorance
• We can shake off the rancorous blight of bigotry and hypocrisy
• We can find it in ourselves to live with respect for the Earth and every living
creature in the wild
• To create a world based on the old values of wisdom and unity
• To live in communities that value love over war, harmony over destruction and
creativity above censorship and prohibition
• To exist in a new era free of the tyranny and stranglehold of money
• To dare the impossible and to realize the vital dream of a life lived with
compassion and visionary wonder

To live in the manner we were originally supposed to
Standing for the truth, for new energy, for new steps of change
Human beings of every shade and denomination
Small sparks from a huge distant fire covering the world with sweet crystal flames
and warm healing embers of light
