We marched on through the valleys in the name of democracy
I laid many soldiers to rest and may they always find peace
In fear we battled armored legions of blood thirsty men
And when I think of their families it always brings me sadness
As I wonder who is my enemy when in war we are bound to protect
But in this great devotion of freedom we also seem to neglect
Humanity and compassion isn't there any left inside of me
Because my better parts I cannot find only whats broken and beat
Sleepless nights I sit beside my silence filled with sorrows over again
Then by the light of my Almighty God, He gave me a mighty pen
And on empty canvas my heart pours out
then from my eyes the ink smears
How many nights have I wasted justifying those fleeting tears
Then I brought my feelings to this corner and to my recollect
I expressed how I felt and in return good people Ive met
I read from a hundred poets and I absorbed every word
Slowly we reach our destination sometimes we're thrown a curve
Some lightly write with humor and some write from true romance
Some write from within darkness, but in the end there's a beautiful chance
That in this world we are not alone or maybe there is something worse
But surely we are all connected by our souls in this vast universe
"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind"
Have no fear of negative energy, because negativity won't stop the time
Write whatever your heart desires it doesn't matter if it rhymes
Encourage one another and together we'll ascend to new heights
"So wont you help me write
These words of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Are these redemption poems"
These words are freedom
