Freedom is a treasure
If you want it, go get it

Are we free?
That’s what they say
But were really not
This oppressions getting kind of hot
They say they help but it’s all talk
Man, this oppression needs to stop

Freedom is a treasure
If you want it, go get it

It’s a free country
Open our eyes
Why won’t we?
I know you’d like that
So would I

In the world it’s an eye for an eye
Land of the free, home of the brave
Truth is
We’re not anymore free than a slave

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
