Freedom in Chains




Freedom in Chains



The free man knows where the keys to all the padlocks are:

He chooses which to open with care;

The free man keeps his eyes on his thoughts knowing where freedom lies;

The free man knows enough is wealth;

The free man accepts the yoke knowing the master is the slave:

It is not walls and bars that make prisoners.

Very perceptive wisdom.

Analytic, yet lyric, and wisdom-filled. Your perspective and delivery combine nicely.

the free man also voices his thoughts without fear.

Wisdom in a few words.

i feel like this about usa free trade agreements and their dmca copyright act where they use trade power to insist on restrictive copyright for other nations and disallow fair use except for themselves. freedom is a strange trade.
