Freedom Poem by Blessing Ekpe

Are the birds truly free?

Do the birds freely feed with no enemy?

If the birds truly live in will and freedom

I 'will like to fly from this boredom


Yes, i can be liken to a bird

For i hate every string of bondage.

For i hate to be made a man's appendage.

The entanglements of body and soul.


Having being made free.

Having no yoke of burden on my head.

Am freely flying so high

And perching sincerely at will.


All is free to fly in the air of freedom;

Only you, are your no ONE enemy.

Many are caged in the mind,

For, it is a choice to live freely.


I cherish the kingdom of the birds,

I cherish the kingdom of the free minds,

Whose hearts cannot be bought with a fee

I cherish being who are truly living freely.
