Is There Freedom

 

Every where I turn, I feel as if I am trapped

All I want is the actual freedom of choice

Our choices always seemed influenced

By friends, family, right and wrong

As if our destiny is shaped by everything except our choice

There are those among us that say we decide our own destiny

But do we

The way we are brought up, taught, loved, even disciplined

All of these and more make us chose a certain direction or path

They have all set our moral compasses to a general direction

It’s funny because I can look around

We are even taking that freedom away from the wild creatures

We build and build taking away their habitat

Forcing man’s will onto all around us both man and beast

We either do it mentally or physically

Is there really a free choice left?

Or are we all preprogramed

To just follow a path

Little variations but all in the same general direction

Where did freedom go

Do we really have a choice anymore?
