What Is Freedom?

5. "We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom." (Kanye West).

I Choose this quote because it's so true.  we can buy our way out of not only jail, but being sentenced, going to the police station and so much more.  but we really can't buy freedom, it's true.  Freedom is our given right, not something you can buy at a store, it's given to us, which also means it can also be taken away, but like he stated above, you can buy back your freedom, which is irony.   so when we buy our way out of jail, its like we're buying back our freedom.  Some people aren't  allowed to be given freedom.  It's hard to understand, but it also is easy to understand too.   below is a poem I wrote about freedom

Freedom: 

 Freedom is not free, 

well at least that's what they tell me. 

Freedom represents everything 

that we can be, or will become. 

Freedom is something you can't buy, 

but it's also something that will not lie, 

Freedom is what everyone dreams to have,

and many people don't receive

Freedom is what it means to be an 

American citizen  like me. 

Freedom is not free, 

well at least that's what they tell me. 

I really do believe freedom is totally free.
