There is no absolute freedom in life
We all slave to someone or something
Love, God, money, fame, concepts or ourselves
The worlds we see mold our perception
Tradition makes us either follower or rebel
Race, culture, nationality group individuals
Mind is trapped in a box, embryo in test tube
Life can never outgrow its feeding milieus
Our wisdom is to know we are slaves
That jungle is dangerous, desert harsh to life
Liberty shifts its properties in light, in dark
In every matter we must give up so to obtain
Birth does not come by one’s own choice
Death frees life by robbing all its 'choices'
