Happy Independence Day
The following free verse poems are written to honor freedom of speech for every soul.
Happy Independence Day for readers in USA!
Awakened Heart’s Vision
I write for those forbade to disagree,
When governments or leaders squelch dissenting voices.
Their freedoms overshadowed by repressive restrictions,
Imposed upon souls granted free will by their Creator.

Fractions of freedom stolen line by line.
Repression disguised in laws portrayed for health or security.
Deceitful minds made rich upon the fears of masses.
Silenced, the weakening heart agrees to one more limitation.

How does it end?

When the awakened heart remembers to breathe light,
To know its blessed and true sovereignty.
Envisions a new Earth flamed by violet truth,
Where freedom rings louder than limitations.

Jean Neff Guthrie
Freedom’s Choices
Sparks of freedom,
Illuminating the halls of our choices.
Do we see the light in our moment of decision,
Or remain in darkness to repeat fearful patterns?

Freedom's choices ring with responsibility.
Love shows compassion and understanding, even for those who harm us,
While fear binds us to hate and dis-ease, as we believe only our way is right.
Responses, each moment, birth our reality.
