Freedom Day

Today in England we have what is being termed ‘Freedom Day’… but what does freedom mean in this situation?

Maybe we should be clear,
What freedom means.
Freedom doesn’t mean
Doing what you like
Regardless of the consequences,
Rather freedom means
Doing what you like
Knowing about the consequences;
You are not free of them,
You are free to cause
Whichever consequences
You choose.
Consequences are natural,
They will always come.
You only control them
At the point you make
A decision,
Not afterwards.
So maybe we should call
Today, ‘Decision day’
For we must all decide
What consequences we
Are willing to cause
Not only for us, but for all
Those around us.
