Freedom
Precious. Like Oxygen if deprived, the struggle for life ensues. When it is lost the soul follows. Empty.
Voids. Empty spaces filled with pain, sorrow. Lifeless eyes with pupils blown staring down pothole highways.
Shackles. Seen by others, a warning from unseen masters. Invisible shackles destroy the spirit of freedom, a haunting empty lifeless husk.
When freedom is snatched away, the void it leaves cannot be filled. Like oxygen and love, freedom fuels the human spirit. Absent freedom, dreams are nightmares, a never-ending mind-numbing soul-striping existence.
Freedom - protect it like your life depends on it.
It Does.
