    There are words like freedom
    Sweet and wonderful to say,
    On my heartstrings freedom sings
    All day every day.

    There are words like liberty
    That almost makes me cry,
    If you had known what I know
    You would know why.

    - Langston Hughes

    It just made me think of people in seeking freedom, be it social or physical. Sorry if this is a downer to anyone xD
