It has a nice ring to it…
Free as if it has no cost,
but it does.

Dom, as if it is a state of being
endowed as a right,
easily trampled.

Often heard as a rally cry
by those who intend to
strangle it.

Ringing true as a bell
in the subconscious of
those asleep.

Keeping them asleep,
for fear they should
awake.

For they might then see
that freedom doesn’t
mean alike.
