WINNIESPOETRY: From my book "A Yellow Rose Among the Red..Poems to Comfort You

A TREE IN THE WIND

A tree in the wind
Blew
Bending down
To
The ground
Giving Honor
To
The Divine

A tree in the wind
Swayed
Acknowledging
The
One
Whom
I
Prayed.

FREEDOM OR FREE
By Sister Siebra Muhammad

Freedom or free are ideas to consider
Both has its might and splendor
One you have and one you are
Yet the one you are is the greatest by far

Freedom or free which do I prefer to have or be
To have freedom is an illusion it can be taken away is the conclusion
No matter how small or large there is a potential to be trapped
For under freedom it has limitations as a dome is something capped

Look around there is no end to space
To be free is equal to the line above in this case
I am free are the words written all over my face
How say ye on having freedom or being free
The choice is clear you only have to look to see

To be is to have is divine
Except to have can turn to have not in no matter of time
Do not be mistaken when you have it can very well be taken
Many slaves that received freedom felt they were forsaken

Some tried to go back to their taskmaster
Knowing that hell did not stop their feet from running faster
Why you may sigh on ~ yet what did they have to rely on?
Familiarity brought about complacency that led to contempt
Imagining how having freedom could be followed by thoughts of resentment

You might be thinking that was way back when
There is no difference between today and then
Oh but on the contrary not necessarily
Today if you choose to have freedom instead of being free
Rest assure you will not doubt repeat the former slaves history

Presently there is a cost to be free it is a high price to pay
Paid by plenty of sacrifices most opt to turn away
Could this reaction be due to the large expenditure?
Making it easier to go against ones nature

Before I conclude do not let me elude
To reiterate the power in being free
Is to be and that is everlasting indeed
And to be is forever multiplied by infinity

Freedom or free one you have and one you be
This decision excludes the Almighty
The decision is at hand for all of humanity
Would you rather have or would you rather be?

A hint to you from me the power lies in being free!
