Freedom's Price

Freedom
Isn't free
Freedom has a price
Not even all the money
In the world might suffice

What's freedom's price?
It's costs a life
And maybe more
Than just yours
Try thousands
Millions
So you can sleep tonight

Why do so many
Put their lives on the line
For the price of freedom
When we are never truly
Free?

I am fifteen. I have severe ADHD. Don't let my poems confuse you. Artist, closet poet, student filmmaker. I have a blog, it's not that good. You can look at it anyway. http://avolavit.tumblr.com

Christmas Fire

Christmas time. Missiles and land mines. Children losing. Their limbs and going blind. Shots will be fired. Families will grieve. The war shall not pause. For festivities. Christmas time.

Crescent Moon

The crescent moon was bleeding and blending, the wind blowing in from the west. Soldiers were shooting and seeding, igniting the growing unrest.
