Poem: Freedom

Freedom is treasured
Freedom to speak, hear, see
Freedom to perceive, like, dislike
Freedom to believe

But total freedom is impossible
Freedom to rape, kill, plunder
But to restrict all freedom
Is an ungainly, disastrous blunder

So how much freedom should anyone have?
Who's to decide?
Opinions will clash

Alas! to maintain 'order',
Some freedom is curbed
But never the freedom to think,
The freedom to love

I think this was during the last stretch of my 'O' levels, so I was happy it's gonna be over. But then, 'A' levels would arrive in 2 years time, so I had to console myself haha :P
