Freedom

We tricked in, one by one
Each one of us looking for something
An abducted brother, an arrested father
Food for a mother, fees for a child
We were like lost strangers who have always belonged together
In our brokenness we became more than a people
We became a choir of stories
Stories that composed different verses of the same song
A song for Freedom!
And when we finally held hands and sang
With a single united shout
The chains fell, shattered
Freedom!
