‘in favor of Freedom’ There is a feeling in breathing that we, as adults, have long forgotten; that we, as babes born screaming and writhing, declared our first breaths as acts of defying. Freedom! Freedom! cried those infant lungs. a positive cry, for a posited life, a great, big, infant roar in favor of Freedom. … And there is a feeling in living, that we, as Americans, have long forgotten; that we, as citizens conceived bloodied and shocked, declared our first breaths as acts of defying. Freedom! Freedom! cried those American lungs. a positive cry, for a posited reality, a great, big, American roar in favor of Freedom. M. L. Michael 08/08/10
in favor of freedom
There is a feeling in breathing
that we, as adults, have long forgotten;
that we, as babes born screaming and writhing,
declared our first breaths as acts of defying.
Freedom! Freedom! cried those infant lungs.
a positive cry, for a posited life,
a great, big, infant roar in favor of Freedom.[…]
