The Word I'd Be
~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~
Allowed to be.. unfettered by constraints to heed
No stigma regarding culture, color, rule, or creed
Fervently wishing to release.. whoever is in need
Figuratively, literally, I'd make a stand and plead
Wishing the right, same for all individuals indeed
Desired word and state of being is .. "FREED" ..
~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~ ~+~
