Independence

Independence now
No need to scrape or bow down
Once you’re on your own.

Whatever you please 
There’ll be freedom to decide
Because you are free.

Noncomformity
We know is quite a problem
Sov’reign people face.

Liberated thoughts
Of self-determination
A free man not made.

Nonalignment fumes
Explodes in thunderous storms
Freedom fashions wrath.

Liberty runs cold
When emancipation fails
Confrontations clash.

Is it possible
True independence can be
Owned by every man? 

One must traverse gaps
Cooperate and decide
Freedom shared ‘s the key

.

Impossible task

Huge steps toward conformity
No one's really free.
