Freedom trained
A freedom ride
Rode to the next stop
Not guaranteed to be free
No constitutional mandate
Protecting the looseness
No more nooses
Of those not allowed
Even when the law said “not to be” aloud
They did not fool my parents or their legacy forward
With those yet to be
Should it be as they say
Freedom is not, cannot, will not be free
But I say
It is a coming
Just watch and see
