This hypocrisy is outrageous!
I can't bear to live this way.
Is this what you call family ties?
The cruel tyrants will have to pay.
Life is freedom: Freedom is life.
To take one away is unjust.
Day after day, my freedom's stolen.
Gaining it back is a must.
Cruel and unusual to be quite oppressed.
By one's own natural kin.
Cruel indeed that I'm now alone,
Stuck in a corner, pinned.
I've nothing to do, even less to say
About this maddening torment.
Sitting silently, while losing my mind
Seems like time better spent.
My freedom of voice is gone;
Very limited to begin with.
They've discarded that use
And removed the words from my lips.
My freedom of thought remains in tact
Yet it's something I can't practice.
They've hidden the mode by which to express
Therefore now my thoughts are voiceless.
All my freedom's being taken;
they're silencing me at all cost.
It's evident to me, they don't care at all,
For what within me might be lost.
Here's my final freedom;
My favorite freedom of press.
With these rhythmic words,
I strive to prove I'm oppressed.
