In The Name Of freedom
The vacuity of total freedom is
a straitjacket of disbelief, there
is no credo other than the shallow
philosophy of business men and
the inane uttering of celebrities.
The right to personal happiness
is the buzzword and never mind
who has to pay the price.
Those who can get children wont
because a career is more important,
postpone it to its too late and lament
Those who cant try to cheat nature
and Mary next door who is unmarried
and have five is vilified, yet she is
the one that secure a nations soldiers
of tomorrow.
In the modern suburbia men talk
sport, women shopping, no one talks
politics as long as oil is cheap and
no one asks question that leaves
a sense of uneasiness and when death
knock on the door its dressed up
beautified and forgotten, only the sense
that there is more to life remains.
Im thinking of John Walker who
became a Taliban and got twenty
years for his quest to find a meaning
with his life other than the emptiness
of egocentric fulfilment, that leads to
alcohol and drug abuse, or right wing
christianity, which is the soulless and
unforgiving religion of capitalism.
