Poems About Freedom

Equality

Author: N. Ellis

Freedom and equality, two sides of the same coin
One cannot exist without the other, they both must be joined
For how can we be free if we are not equal in the eyes of the law?
And how can we be equal if we are not free to speak, think, and explore?
We are all born with certain unalienable rights
The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as stated in our plights
But for far too long, these rights have been denied
To those who are different, to those who have been marginalized and have been spied
But the time has come for change, for a better tomorrow
Where freedom and equality for all can be borrowed
We must stand together and fight for what is right
So that we can all live in a world that is bright
So let us raise our voices and let our spirits soar
For freedom and equality, we must forever implore
For together, we are strong, we are one
And with freedom and equality, our victory has already won

Speech

Author: M. Clark

Freedom of speech, a right so dear
A right that we hold so very near
The right to express ourselves, to speak our minds
To share our thoughts and ideas, of all kinds
But freedom of speech is not always easy to come by
There are those who try to silence, who try to deny
The right to speak out and to be heard
The right to have a voice, to make our words concurred
But we must not let them win, we must not back down
For freedom of speech is a right that we must not drown
We must stand up and defend it with all our might
For without freedom of speech, we cannot fight
For freedom of speech allows us to speak truth to power
To challenge injustice and to grow and to flower
So let us raise our voices and let them ring loud
For freedom of speech, let us forever be proud

Fighters

Author: M. Clark

Freedom fighters, warriors of the light
They stand up for what is right
They fight for justice, they fight for change
They fight for a world that is free and rearranged
They are the ones who never give up the fight
Who stand tall and always do what is right
They are the ones who never back down
Who always stand their ground
They are the ones who never give in to fear
Who always persevere and never shed a tear
They are the ones who never lose hope
Who always find a way to cope
For they know that freedom is worth the fight
They know that it is always in their sight
So they stand up and they rise up high
For they are the freedom fighters, they never die
So let us honor them, let us hold them dear
For they are the ones who always persevere
For they are the ones who fought for our freedom today
And for that, we forever have something to say:
Thank you, freedom fighters, thank you for all you do
For without you, we would not have the freedoms that we knew
So here's to you, the warriors of the light
May your fight for freedom continue to ignite

America

Author: S. Ellis

There once was a land called America
Where freedom was held high, like a camera
But alas, not all were free
For some were discriminated, you see
So the fight for equality was like a drama
But slowly but surely, things began to change
And freedom for all was no longer strange
For the people united, they stood as one
And together, they won
So now in America, all are free
To speak their minds and be who they wish to be
For freedom reigns supreme, it never fades
And for that, we are forever grateful, forever unafraid

Love

Author: D. Burton

Freedom and love, two beautiful things
That bring joy to our hearts and make our spirits sing
For freedom allows us to be who we are
To love and be loved, to reach for the stars
But love is not always easy, it takes work and care
It requires trust and understanding, a willingness to share
But with freedom, love can truly flourish and grow
For with freedom, we are free to let our love show
So let us embrace freedom and love with all our might
For they are the forces that make our lives bright
For when we are free to love and be loved in return
There is nothing that can ever make our love burn
So let us hold on to freedom and love, never letting go
For they are the forces that make our lives whole
For with freedom and love, we can conquer all
And together, we will stand tall

Choice

Author: M. Clark

Freedom of choice, a beautiful thing
It allows us to be who we wish to be, to spread our wings
To make our own decisions, to chart our own course
To follow our hearts and to pursue our own source
But freedom of choice is not always easy to come by
There are those who try to control, to deny
The right to choose, to make our own way
The right to be free, to live and to play
But we must not let them win, we must not back down
For freedom of choice is a right that we must not drown
We must stand up and defend it with all our might
For without freedom of choice, we cannot take flight
So let us embrace freedom of choice with open hearts
For it is the key to living a life that is full and smart
For with freedom of choice, we can achieve our dreams
And live a life that is full of joy and gleams

Expression

Author: M. Clark

Freedom of expression, a gift to be cherished
A right that allows us to be authentic, to be embellished
To speak our minds, to share our thoughts and feelings
To express ourselves, to reveal our true selves, to our hearts' revealing
But freedom of expression is not always easy to come by
There are those who try to silence, who try to deny
The right to speak out and to be heard
The right to have a voice, to make our words concurred
But we must not let them win, we must not back down
For freedom of expression is a right that we must not drown
We must stand up and defend it with all our might
For without freedom of expression, we cannot ignite
So let us embrace freedom of expression with open hearts
For it is the key to living a life that is full and smart
For with freedom of expression, we can achieve our dreams
And live a life that is full of joy and gleams

Religion

Author: M. Clark

Freedom of religion, a fundamental right
A right that allows us to worship and to unite
To practice our faith, to seek spiritual guidance
To connect with a higher power, to find inner silence
But freedom of religion is not always easy to come by
There are those who try to suppress, who try to deny
The right to believe and to worship as we please
The right to have a faith, to find inner peace
But we must not let them win, we must not back down
For freedom of religion is a right that we must not drown
We must stand up and defend it with all our might
For without freedom of religion, our spirits take flight
So let us embrace freedom of religion with open hearts
For it is the key to living a life that is full and smart
For with freedom of religion, we can achieve inner peace
And live a life that is full of joy and release

South Africa

Author: S. Ellis

There once was a land called South Africa
Where freedom was hard to come by, it wasn't a Mecca
But thanks to the bravery of a few
Freedom was won, and the sky was blue
Now all are equal, no longer a specter
For Mandela and his fellow freedom fighters
Fought with all their might
To bring about change, to set things right
And they succeeded, they lit the fuse
Now South Africa is a land of freedom and no abuse
A land where all are equal, a land of hope and new beginnings
A land that is free, and no longer spinning
In the chains of oppression, a land that is true
To the principles of justice, equality, and freedom for all, anew.
