For the Love of Freedom

by Michael D Nalley   Feb 9, 2011


Love is the sole reason creatures embrace
Heartbreak and sacrifice for goodness sake
The whole truth is sometimes so hard to face
We wonder in awe of what it will take

To endure hurt while accepting the sweet
Bird of paradise at the pearly gates
Lies linger on, yet the ones we repeat
Obstruct the path of peace that awaits

We all adore sunshine, water and air
While we live on this earth for a short while
Faith , hope and love are the cures for despair
Why must we wander so long by the Nile

Civilization was born in Egypt
Even freedom must follow sacred scripts

    I really love this poem.

    I love this part

    We all adore sunshine, water and air
    While we live on this earth for a short while

    I felt like it is our right to have sunshine, water and the air we breathe. No one should take that freedom away from us

    Well written
