An Odd Sort of Repression/True Freedom

An odd sort of repression runs through our society

A repression that is based on tiny fears that have added up to paralysis

Both socially, culturally and individually



We are told that our society is free

We may even feel it

But that is all a falsehood



Something is wrong and everyone knows it

Whether or not they know it, everyone can feel it

It's palpable in the air

As we ride in trains and buses

Please look



We are told that true freedom equates

To laissez faire economic policies and "free trade"

Though it's only a trick



True freedom is in fact a matter of an individual's contentment,

happiness and security in one self.

And when society makes it so that is not the case for many

Very few are free
