Freedom

Freedom

A Poem by Jeff Bresee
"

I think the problem lies within the reason why we fight...

"

Why do we always end up in the place where we began?

Why is it freedom fades away and dies in every land?

 

I think the problem lies within the reason why we fight,

for it is not to win the war then stand guard day and night

 

with vigilance. No sadly this is not the cause at all,

and so the stage is set that every time we rise we fall.

 

Yes, time has shown we do not fight to make sure we stay free.

No, rather we fight for the chance… to live our lives at ease.
