PAD APRIL 2014 #11 STATEMENT POEM

LET FREEDOM RING!

I LOVE FREEDOM –

That means free to write this whole poem in one long line if I choose and keep going until I run out of breath or finger strength or ink, or line width or imagination

I love freedom so much that

I will not quantify what someone

else’s freedom might or should

look like

I love freedom so much that

I think I would be on the frontline

yelling my head off

to show everyone they have freedom

to lead or follow

regardless of what the risk

I love freedom so much that

my lungs can’t yell loud enough

how great it is

I love freedom to breathe in

breathe out

And BE FREE

right here

right now
