Life Without Freedom
Life without freedom really sucks wind,
It puts everyone on the defensive ready to offend.
Life without freedom shows a lack of understanding,
It seems like every person is having trouble comprehending.
Life without freedom generates much hate and mistrust,
Many worry about other people's sex and lust.
Life without freedom demonstrates ignorance in many ways,
It causes some people to be to doing things on not normal days.
Life without freedom destroy the evidence it taints,
Many people believe their life is guided by some mystical saints.
Life without freedom destroys one person's life for another,
It could be your mother, father, sister or even maybe a brother.
Life without freedom really is not worth the fighting just to be living,
But, I would rather not be worrying about what others are doing.
Life without freedom requires that some control what I do with my life,
Those who believe it is their right to control others should be put before the knife.
Life without freedom is like life without meaning - pathetically sad,
It is strange how people steal people's identity and bad.
Life without freedom is like driving a car with no place to go,
It is a misconception privilege only given to you to create flow.
Life without freedom has no fluid motion and stagnates,
To the point where things do not work as it demonstrates.
Life without freedom destroy people's lives beyond awareness,
It is because most choose not to understand their own consciousness.
Life without freedom of choice is devastating to everyone involved,
And cannot possibly be good because we have already evolved.

Thank you very much for your compliment Myownworld. It was a pleasure to write the poem and had been on my mind lately. I would NOT trade my freedom for the dogma of the world. I think you meant to say- you wouldn't trade freedom? But, I do understand it was an accident of your wording. Freedom shouldn't have to be sacrifice and much of the dogma of the world is the main reason why people have the understanding them do have. Much appreciated you stopped by. :)
I truly believe when we feel we are not free is because we are incarcerating ourselves with our own fear. This freedom you write about creates excitement, inspiration, desire and a reminder of what can be ours shall we want it.
I find it amazing that I read this just now, as I so badly needed to read about this. And I thank you.
As always love your style of writing, but this I swear I'm bumping up green 3 times
Cheers

Thank you very much Lyricsingray. I'm glad you loved it. I also appreciate your compliment. :)
Great Poem about freedom :) You absolutely right... that people just think about sex all the time. They don't think about the freedom because they been told that they live in a free country. But no matter what they do, the country will always have rules. Which means... it's controlled, and if people are under the surveillance, what kind of freedom are they talking about?
Great hub, very good eye opener :)
oops Cags...it was a typo and lol...I meant it the other way round! I guess my mind was still on your words when I typed it, and I just got a bit carried away with my thoughts! But i know you'll understand. Do take care...and you would make a great teacher I believe...:)
Thank you very much Myownworld. You're adorable and kind. :)
Very interesting poem. I wonder if life without freedom happens when you make poor choices and reap the consequences, or maybe fear or guilt can control our thoughts. Your poem gives me some things to think about. I thought it was very good.
Thank you Pamela. I appreciate that you read it and think it's good. To be honest, Life without freedom happens when a lack of knowledge prevents one from accomplishing the measures they have for their life. To me, it is about Integrity above all else, which is derived from honesty and love for oneself. Most people who have Integrity hold themselves to a higher standard than the average person, because the average person doesn't know or understand the that there is a difference. Choices are guided by knowledge and understanding of themselves. Yes, some people have choices, but fail to see them, because their vision is skewed by outside influences. Thank you again. :)
Freedom. We all seek it, whether it's from the past or for a daily thing as freedom of speech. Thanks for putting it to hub for all of us, cagsil. Well done!
:BUMP:
sorry just wanted to read it again and rate it up

Human history begins with man's act of disobedience which is at the very same time the beginning of his freedom and development of his reason. We all look for freedom, but do we actually get freedom? are we not the slaves of our responsibilities and commitments?
i love your writings, your words and thoughts have got power.great poem with deep philosophy!
best regards,nadia
Thank you Ann Nonymous. I am glad you came by to check out my new poem. I'm always honored. :) Also, appreciate your kindness of leaving a comment and compliment. :)
Thank again Lyricingray! :) :D
Hey Nadiaazhar, I find your comment interesting, because you began it with "Human history begins with man's act of disobedience" - this statement insinuates a mythology, such as religion. However, we are not slaves of our responsibilities and commitments- responsibilities and commitments are things you should want to do, and not need to be forced to do. I do appreciate you stopping by my poem and am always glad you leave a comment every time. It helps learn more about you. :) ;) I'm very glad you enjoy my writing and the power generated from it. Thank you again. :)
Casgil, Thanks for sharing such a beautiful expression of the truth ....freedom. I love the subject and enjoy this video often reminding myself (for lack of a better word) by viewing it...I find it a great journey and am inpired by it. Peace :)
Cags:
Nicely written poem. Well expressed idealism.
Freedom is for a species of life that has matured and can handle the responsibilities inherent in the concept.
The "human" species has not approached that level of growth.
Freedom is a word much of "humanity" does not understand.
In 1962 Robert Ruark wrote a book entitled "Uhuru." Uhuru is a "Swahili" word for "freedom." A book dedicated to "Africas" quest for freedom.
To be "truly" free, all men must function as a synergistic unit with one goal in mind i.e. to survive as a species!
At this moment in our evolution, "freedom" is a concept alluded to, but impossible to attain.
Ignorance, illiteracy, misunderstanding, predation and primitive aspirations for power and control..."rule!"
Time and, if instituted, reasoned construct will be the only hope man has to gain viability and "his" freedom!
Thank you Katie. That was an awesome video. I appreciate you sharing it with me and I hope other who come by my poem, will watch it as well, because it's really cool and to the point.
Thank you Qwark. I appreciate your words and the reasoned logic you used to reach your conclusion, but I have a different type of view, when it comes to the potential of each person and their ability to gain freedom. It is contained within each of us to get the freedom we want. However, the path to reach that goal is what is blurred by outside influences and distracts most people from ever reaching their own personal goals for their life. I do appreciate your kindness of reading my poem. :) It is always appreciated. :)
Your poem was written very timely indeed! Very well written and can bring much insight to one's self view of personal freedom. For ourselves we create our own free mentality- (for some it takes work to find and maintain, for others it's found easily.) But as I read this, it describes so well the status of our country today. There are issues being introduced to us that convey the idea of our people gaining more freedom, when in fact it is deceivably being taken away from us. If we have no choice, we have no freedom. Hopefully true patriots can see past the smokescreen and hold on to our freedom with greater strength, rather than hand it over in hopes of false promises. Great, great poem Cagsil. Rated this up for ya too! =)

Awsome Hub!
Beautiful Word's
Thank you very much Awful Poet. I'm very happy to hear you liked it. :)
Inspring and thought-provoking, Ray! Great job!
Hey Habee, nice to see you on my hubs. I am glad you received something from it, as I intended. Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment. It's always a pleasure. :)
Interesting viewpoint but it left me wondering if you are truly free to do as you wish or are you at liberty to do so?
Hey George J Hardy, first off, thank you for coming by my poem. I am always grateful when other people read them. On a separate subject, your questions are not registering with me, because are you referring to me, as an individual or people in general. Currently, I am not free to do as I please and under too restrictive tyrant type laws, which force upon responsibility for things that are sometimes out of a person's control and becoming a detriment to the overall health and wealth of the world. Not just America.
True freedom requires much more than having to live by someone else's rules. When we have the ability within ourselves to control our own actions, providing people are willing to accept more control over their life. Then freedoms would not be a problem. Again, I do not know if you are referring to me. But, I tried to address both sides of the question. Again, thank you. :)
great poem...
Thank you Tranita. I am grateful you visited and left a comment. Very much appreciated. I am glad you liked it. :)
Interesting response; but would one rather have freedom per se~ or would we rather be at liberty to be free without an overbearing state granting us our freedoms? (national or personal arguments)Are we accountable to ourselves, the state or to God? When we approach the subject in this manner does it not allude to further questions of character versus situational ethics. And how does one weigh the differences of philosophy that determine ones freedoms without defining its values?
Again George, your question still does not make any sense, because it appears as though you are trying to get something out of nothing?? Freedom and Liberty?? Are the same, and you are stipulating that they are two different things. :/
We are accountable to ourselves, however, until more and more people start living up to that and realize the truth of what it means, we are subjected to Law(s) created by State and Federal government. Character? If you have to ask questions about what it is? I would then understand that you do not know yourself. Or am trying to get me to explain it. Character comes from learning Integrity, which I wrote about in another hub. The philosophy behind determining ones freedoms without defining it's values?
There are defined values to our freedoms, and unfortunately, what many miss is that the value is located in the knowledge and wisdom we gain through living life and pass on to others who do not know that the values exist.
As for the State(government) issue, as them dictating how someone is to live their life, is a bit over board at this time and many unenforceable laws that are governing the people need to go away. However, it is a catch 22 situation and subjective based on individual perspective of morality. There is no set standard, for which, people are to live by. Hence, the purpose of my writing another hub on morality or morals, so as to define them so others can learn.
I hope I was able to clear up my position about it. If not, maybe you can shoot me an email and add more detail, because of what you're talking about has many factors my poem doesn't not account for. Thank you so much again. :)
...indeed! It's one of the greatest things on earth- FREEDOM.. maybe I'd rather die than living a life with chain and knuckels in my neck fiercing the entire me... thank you for sharing..^.^
Thank you very much pinkhawk for stopping by, reading and commenting. It's always a pleasure when people enjoy my writing. :)
Dropping by to say hello, I enjoyed the poem and wish you much fame
Thank you manthy. Nice to meet you and I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I appreciate you wishing me much fame, but fame is not something I am interested. Much appreciated. :)
Interesting perceptions of (lack of) freedom expressed in this poem, Cagsil. Thanks for sharing. I'm interested in the particular line: "Those who believe it is their right to control others should be put before the knife" and am wondering if this is a truly emotional statement as the statement. to me, represents the ultimate in control... just some thoughts...
Hey Mythbuster, very nice to see you on one of my poems. To clear up the interest you have in the statement made, is to make those who are willing to usurp power and control over others, fearful of those who they manipulate. Example: Government make the public fearful, when the truth is a Government should be truly afraid of it's people. I hope that is better. Thank you for reading, visiting and commenting. It was a pleasure. :)
Beautifully written! Life without freedom is unimaginable for me. As a child, I was over-protected and was seldom allowed to mingle around. I came to realise how sweet freedom can be only years later and now I can't do without it! Am I rambling a lot? Will stop now... :) Great hub!
Thank you very much Divacratus. I can understand where you are coming from. Freedom is very important to our life and many do not realize it or choose to hold others back, so as to not know it. Thank you also for your compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed it and commented. :) It was a pleasure to see you. :)
I enjoyed reading your thoughts. I always value the freedom we have in our country, some countries, unfortunately do not have the freedom of worship or any other freedom. It is precious, thanks for reminding me just how fortunate we are to have a measure of freedom.
Thank you very much Joy. I am glad you visited, read and comment on my poem. There are plenty of people who do not really understand what freedom means or is truly. I appreciate your kind words. :)
Your poem is great man. I like the way you express your way of freedom. I voted it up you gave me some inspiration to write tonight. Thanks!
Thank you mylife. I'm glad to hear it inspired you to write. I appreciate you reading, commenting and voting it up. :)
Thought provoking and inspiring. It really makes me stop and value what I have. Thanks for sharing your talent. Voted up and beautiful.
Thank you very much toknowinfo. I'm glad you found it thought provoking and inspiring. Life without freedom can be summed up in the first few sentences.. LOL! It would suck. I appreciate you reading and commenting, and the vote up, as well as the beautiful. :) :D
I thought this was about being in a relationship at first, like being without freedom as in 'tyed down' or something, but then when I realized it was about religion, I noticed it totally inaccurate about my situation anyway, and I really don't like (it sucks wind!)
Thank you Schoolgirlforreal for reading and commenting. However, it's not actually about religion, per se. It's about other people manipulating and attempting to control other people. So, your assumption is inaccurate. :)
I must tell you that no matter what you write, it always seems to motivate. This poem is no different...as a descendant of slavery I do have some inkling as to what life without freedom means. But more than that is the emotional traps and enslaved minds that confines us the most. Many of us walk without physical chains but we are trapped in our thought and minds.
To be free is also to be mentally and emotionally so. Thanks you for a wonderful poem.
Awesome - I like it - thumbs up :)
Thank you Cardisa and Starme for reading and commenting. It's always a pleasure to have people read my poems. @Cardisa, I'm glad you found it to be motivating. It was written to make people stop and think, similar to other things I write. Always want to make an impact on people, which is the most important part. I appreciate your compliment also. @Starme, I appreciate your compliment and thumbs up too. :) I'm very happy you liked it. :)
Thankyou for clarifying! Sorry for the assumption. thanks.
You're welcome Schoolgirlforreal. It's not a problem. :)
wonderfully expressed!!!
Thank you very much lifezprecious. I appreciate you reading and commenting on my poem. :)
Thanks for sharing, ray!
You're welcome PDX. I don't write many poems, but when I do, I attempt to make them worth writing. Thank you for reading and commenting on my poem. I'm grateful. :)
I like your poetry because it isn't cryptic. It is easy to read and makes perfect sense : )
Hey Jennifer, I try not to use metaphors in my poems. I just try to shoot straight from my mind. I don't like being cryptic in my poems and I'm very glad you like my poems. I'm always grateful for people reading them. Thank you for reading, commenting and compliment. :)
I would hope that people only write what they think is worth reading :-)
Hey PDX, a lot of people write what they want to write and don't write for the interest of others. Thus, they don't care what people want to read. I know, there's a lot of people on HubPages doing exactly that. They write for themselves as a release and nothing more. Thank you for reading and commenting. I appreciate you coming by my poem. :)
that's true. the best writing is the writing that is concerned only with being true to the author and not concerned with an audience.... it just doesn't tend to be the most profitable writing, financially :-)
Correct PDX, it usually doesn't translate into profitable writing. Writing what people want to read is what translates into profitability. Poetry isn't usually written for the reader, it's written so the writer can use it as a expression vehicle for what's on their mind at the time of writing.
Freedom is a state of inner consciousness. It is related to what one expects from life.
Hey Vinaya, that's not totally true. But, I understand what you're attempting to convey. Thank you for reading and commenting on my poem.
I sgree, Ray, though I'd love to better commercialize it... very few make a living at it
Thank you PDX for reading and commenting on my poem. I am commercializing it via Cagsil. Cagsil is my rights advocate services business I operate from home. :) And, I'll agree few would make a living at it. It isn't easy, as I can attest to.
good luck with that Ray!
Much appreciated PDX. :)
you're welcome. I look forward to your next poem!
I'm honored. :)

Beautifully expressed...and very inspiring as always. Yes, I agree freedom from anything that shackles your thoughts and actions is the only way to live and I'd trade freedom any day for all the dogma in the world! Loved it Cags.... take care and see you around in the forums soon! :)
