To The People Where Freedom Exists, I Write Poem by Obed dela Cruz

To the people where freedom exists, I write
That you will use more than your strength and your might,
In order to have justice and make things right,
So that the place you dwell be pleasant in sight.

Make use of your freedom to make others free
From the torment of hell. Their peace let them see.
I ask of you not just to think of your “me”
Make this world tranquil more than the peaceful sea.

Many have fought for the freedom you now own.
Use your birthrights not for others to be down,
But make them love you for the goodness you’ve shown.
In your life, don’t be a chaff, by the wind, blown.

Do not satisfy the narcissism of self.
Don’t be an old book; rotten in that old shelf.
But be a human that is not being loaf.
Don’t ruin your youth and rest of your life.

Desert your works that make you a bad zany.
Be wise and share wisdom; don’t be a ninny.
Forbid yourself to be a festering lily.
Star; be humble though you are too shiny.

Make a way to step out of your comfort zone.
Hear the cries of those lives who painfully moan.
We are human beings that should be humane.
Save the lives of those people who are slain.

Standing together, let’s do things better.
Provide abode for them who don’t have shelter.
At all times, think ways on how to save this planet.
Make sure that all tasks that crash darkness are met.

Through freedom, one could understand who and what man is.
Let selfishness, corruption, pride, and slavery cease.
Be a human being; don’t be a monster.
To your fellow being, don’t be a fester.

No person should be taken away from life.
Do not scare people through the unjust knife.
I ask all sectors to practice social justice.
None should be denied by the protection of laws.

Do not vitiate one’s freedom of the free will.
Practice equality and inform others of their human rights.
They are born in a free world and freedom to do better they should have.
Make sure that everyone is under the rule of law and truth.

Love each other without lust but with care.
Be a factor of peace, life, pardon, and light.
To the people where freedom exists, I write
To the people where freedom exists, I speak.

May this poem have an impact to your disposition.
