Freedom

Freedom is not following a river.

Freedom is following a river,

though, if you want to.

It is deciding now by what happens now.

It is knowing that luck makes a difference.

No leader is free; no follower is free-

the rest of us can often be free.

Most of the world are living by

creeds too odd, chancy, and habit-forming

to be worth arguing about reason.

If you are oppressed, wake up about

Four in the morning: most places,

you can usually be free some of the time

if you wake up before other people.
