Free, not free
Liberty’s journey
Step by step
Bridge the gaps
Equality gained for all
Independence true
Reflection:
This line …
“No refuge could save the hireling and slave, from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, and the star-spangled banner in triumph we wave, o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave,”
… communicates free-not-free.

Hmmm. Mental slavery or oppression? Some context are harder but there are many situations where we get to chose. ❤️
