Quatrain of Learned Freedom

Learned Freedom - it does not come
naturally

Freedom is not the natural yearning
of a lost soul mired
in uncharitable
hate.

Freedom is the yearning of an
aching heart, wishing to
decide its own
fate.

Freedom comes at a high price,
many must pay one
way or the
other,

Freedom comes to the strong,
the weak cover dreams
they actively
smother.
