Independence
To breathe without a sense of fear,
Manage to avoid dangers near,
Sing a song and dance all night,
Live without the concept of fright,
To enjoy one's freedom is a must,
Without which humanity is left to dust,
And yet you snatch all we have,
No need to fight; shove or grab,
As once you see what independence means,
You will see it is in our genes,
To live life the way we wish,
Regardless of the poor or the lavish,
This new sense invites us all,
So no need to cause our befall.
