Is freedom elusive?

Equal distribution is not freedom.

Equality in wants and aptitude

Cannot be achieved to ensure freedom.

Prisoners, of course, enjoy equality.

Equal rights can form a base of freedom.

Equal opportunities can follow.

To achieve this, must come one unequal,

With rights and privilege accumulated.

Dictatorships are outcome of equality.

A few remain free, with others in shackles.

Inequality can bring anarchy

And will ask dictatorship to step in.

Freedom is being free to be what I’m;

Freedom is being free to choose my way.

Freedom is being free to will no harm.

A society, not a herd, can bring freedom.
