Challenge
Write a micro-poem conveying an important opinion or view in as few words as possible.
The criteria is only that a micro-poem is written showing as much meaning as possible from the writer on a specific topic (preferably) labeled at the end of the piece. The idea is to share strong, complex feelings in few sentences. (Not sure how many will see this, but for those who enter, thanks!)
Why I sold out
Freedom,
in the way where no one has a claim on me.
From my childhood, I've owed people,
my parents, my teachers, my friends,
and now my bosses, my banks, my government,
my nonexistent lovers.
So I hustle, I sell my soul,
and they whisper,
but I will be free,
any way I can.
