Freedom On Early Arrival

A Poem

J. Marshall

I thought money was supposed to be the great escape

But I realize that all along money was only meant to serve as the temporary physical escape

Freedom dropped by unexpectedly today and refuses to leave unless I offend

I won’t because freedom is better than anything that came before

Everyone, everywhere seems to be looking in the wrong direction

I feel like I have a map that I’m only supposed to show if someone asks specifically

The problem?

Most people don’t even know a map like this exist

And if they did could they read the language and find their destination?

I don’t think so

Probably not

But I’ll remain here in a heaven that masquerades as freedom while they all get their shit together
