Dream of freedom.

by Tinashe Mafura   May 8, 2016


A world of peace and harmony
where lives of people are credited to God
where is it?
A world with freedom of speech
both before and after you speak.
I tried and I am still searching for it.
Only what I can see now is a dream of freedom
where human rights are the basic parameters
for self control only on papers and not in practise.
Some died in search of freedom,
others were buried alive searching for freedom
and others were put in jails
so we are now enjoying freedom from our poorly
dead heroes and heroines.
Really? Is there any freedom now?
If any, will witness itself and it's just a dream
of eternal freedom on earth.

    That is true Em in some countries human rights are just on papers and there is no room for self expression.

    Tinashe, this is beautiful piece full of passion.

    I believe we should all be able to speak freely but in some countries that is but a dream.
