Freedom!Oh, wonderful way!If you give them the voteWhat will they say? Now, I knowTo my dismayThey just votedTheir freedom away! So what's the pointOf having freedom?We broke their chainsBut, now they need them!

Fredom to make mistakes

So true of course but freedom is also about being able to make your own mistakes and hopefully learn from them. With the chains you only learn to accept or fight their constraints. Some of course will never learn and that is the potential price to be paid for freedom. But education rather than chains just has to be the way. Loved the poem. Keith
