FREEDOM
Read the following poem carefully:
Freedom is the right to do
Anything that pleases you,
As long as you keep in sight
That others also have a right
Have you the right to kill a cat?
Oh no! It’s wrong, just consider that
The cat has the right to live like you
A right to eating and drinking too!

To deprive a nightingale its song
To cheat the poor people, as rich men do
To rob the innocent, as robbers do.
