Free Yourselves     by Sami Khalil


 

To be captives or not to be as slaves

Tis restless dragons with steely downsides

Dishonored toils, bearing freshly dug graves

A task master, soughing our great divides.

 

While existing is a must, living stands not

A crossbow of options with short arrows

Freedom is a harvest, bravely been wrought

Long live the free, sowing seedless fallows.

 

Let no one swindle you of fine treasure

We came to be, mighty force warriors

The rhythm of the sea, singing together

As one people, the chivalrous keepers.

 

To be free means to see the world below

Seeking justice for all, with gusto so.

Justice for all...

Means justice for all... and each one!!!

Not a privileged selected few...

Do you see it? Brother...

I totally agree. Oneness and kinship are signposts along the trip.
dearest Sami...as the Ships cross the Great Sea... we will fly
as Seagulls that protect and respect the Winds of God's Will...
Your poetry always brings us to a place of Peace and Goodwill.
softly, Pat

This was great. I like to think the greatest freedom is individuality. If we appreciate the unique in each other we can never be victims of stereotypical prejudice. If we appreciate the individual in ourselves we free our minds and spirits to be ourselves without clinging to the expectations of others as confining social parameters. I don't cherish the idea of being part of the crowd but I cherish every part of the crowd separately if that makes sense. I enjoyed the read.

' Dishonored toils, bearing freshly dug graves

A task master, soughing our great divides.'

Being a son of the soil myself, I admire and relate to both the captive hardship and the solidarity between those that toil under a hot sun as defined here through excellent creative musings, poet Sami, a very fine fine, distinguished sonnet writer you have become!!

A moving idealistic piece of poetry that should touch every heart that yearns for the brotherhood of freedom. A compassionate and unifying idea that seeks to be a welcoming beacon of hope. That all men are truly created equal and yearn in their heart to be free. Excellent work my friend.

Sami, as always your choice of vocabulary is stellar! We all have to appreciate that we are free to live our lives as we wish. We must respect all people because no one is better than anyone else! Yes, we are one people. The artwork you chose is beautiful! Lydi***
