' Matrix of Freedom '
by Thaddeus Hutyra
Burned roses around me
and thorns under my feet
Raging winds in my mind
piercing pain in my soul
A landscape after a battle
My Goodness, what's happening ?
Why a man is murdering a man ?
Why people fight with each other
for the sake of their tyrants
and not for their own liberties ?
Why not love, instead
amaranthine love?!
Vultures are circling
to kill everything what's dear to you
to throw you into abyss
and letting you catch hell's fires
I feel my mind is on a fire
Not even the raging storms
are able to extinguish it
Fire and rain, fire and rain
nothing but fire and rain
and a deep sadness
in my mind and my soul
Don't they know a democracy
is not really a democracy
but a horrendous tyranny
if minorities are pushed out
mistreated by whatever means ?
Disregarded, terrorised, tortured ?
Don't they know the golden rule
is to give people all their freedoms
and you shall see liberty will flourish
like the roses in the paradise
enchanting, full of flavours
to give them plenty of love
and civilisation will blossom
as never before...
I feel my mind is on a fire
Not even the raging storms
are able to extinguish it
Fire and rain, fire and rain
nothing but fire and rain
and a deep sadness
in my mind and my soul
Never forget freedom
is the pearl and diamond
of every single individual
the one who is the cornerstone
of any society and any state
and not a dogma, not ideology
certainly not any tyranny
can ever be justified
but a man and a woman
free to live the way they wish
while being protected
by a constitution, the matrix
of the individual and the nation
I feel my mind is on a fire
Not even the raging storms
are able to extinguish it
Fire and rain, fire and rain
nothing but fire and rain
and a deep sadness
in my mind and my soul
Why is it so difficult
for people in this world
to understand one simple truth
the individual should be loved
put even on the throne
above any ideology, any system
to make sure goodness wins ?!
Respect to the individual in all fields
from political to judicial ones
is absolutely crucial
to creating a just and lasting society
and equally just statehood
Without a respect to the individual
and without love
there is a road to nowhere
a disaster, going down to the hell
I feel my mind is on a fire
Not even the raging storms
are able to extinguish it
Fire and rain, fire and rain
nothing but fire and rain
and a deep sadness
in my mind and my soul
Do you remember
the Founding Fathers of America ?
Solidarity in Poland ?
The Green Movement in Iran ?
Tamarod on Egyptian soil ?
They all cherished liberty
the one which is like a flame
the flame of freedom
never ending, forever !
Like an eagle high in the sky
a tiger in the jungle
a mouse in the field
a man and a woman free
not tied by anything
but their own wishes !
Like the marvellous statue
the Statue of Liberty, of course !
I feel my mind is on a fire
Not even the raging storms
are able to extinguish it
Fire and rain, fire and rain
nothing but fire and rain
and a deep sadness
in my mind and my soul
But though evil swirls
through this uncertain world
and takes away
what should belong
to you and me, and them
the precious freedom
a right to live the way
as you wish and all of us
we shall fight back !
Yes, our ideas are
so much miscellaneous
but is it all right
when a viral ideology
rejects you and me, and us
our privacy rights
and transforms itself
into a vicious tyranny ?
I feel my mind is on a fire
Not even the raging storms
are able to extinguish it
Fire and rain, fire and rain
nothing but fire and rain
and a deep sadness
in my mind and my soul
Face your demons
show your face like a thunder
say no to abysmal tyranny
and yes to the individual, his rights
Say yes to the respect
of the individual, any individual
Don't let your calls to freedom
to be a voice in the wilderness
Time for a new Enlightenment
for the libertarian solutions
for liberty as symbolized
by the Statue of Liberty
Say no to the disdain of your privacy
and your rights, our rights
in any part of this world
Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Afghanistan
not even in the USA
Stand up and say no
to abusing your rights
because freedom is a light
from within your mind
and from the far away stars
a light shining on
as long as you live
I feel my mind is on a fire
Not even the raging storms
are able to extinguish it
Fire and rain, fire and rain
nothing but fire and rain
and a deep sadness
in my mind and my soul
Imagine this world
is free of tyrannies
and instead
having fair and square governments
We live the way we wish
not being threatened
defended by our laws
judicial systems and the state
every single one of us
you and me, me and you
Wouldn't it be
an enchanting world
for us all ? So sublime ?
What else do we need
if just respect
towards the individual ?
You and me, me and you ?
A Bill of Rights ?!
Yes, long live liberty
the dearest you have
and I have, we all have
Feel like a million, my dear friend
In your oasis of liberty !
I feel my mind is on a fire
Not even the raging storms
are able to extinguish it
Fire and rain, fire and rain
nothing but fire and rain
and a deep sadness
in my mind and my soul
.............
I feel my mind is on a fire
especially now, at this very moment
when I learnt about the terror attack
on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo
12 innocent people, amongst them the cartoonists
were executed in cold blood
at the very heart of Paris, heart of France
I know they have not died in vain
' cause I am with Charlie Hebdo
and we all are with Charlie Hebdo
I am Charlie, we all are Charlie !!
