Finding Freedoms Poem by Luke Joseph Mckernan

In this reality, a darkness dwells,
A profound depravity that truly compels.
Desires flood like a reckless tide,
Leaving behind what we truly need, cast aside.

We toil and strive for another's gain,
While convincing ourselves we are not in chains.
But in this eternal prison, unseen yet real,
Our freedom but an illusion that we feel.

Suppressing our souls, they aim to control,
Dulling our senses, dimming our soul.
Barred like livestock, we're left defenseless,
Victims of a system heartbreakingly relentless.

Humanitarian needs overlooked, missed,
In this race forward, humanity dismissed.
But let us strive to break free from this plight,
Seeking salvation, embracing what's right.
