Free from desire

I don't seek fame nor fortune. I care not for wealth or power. I seek only that, that should be a given right to all on this blue marble.

I desire freedom, I desire a place I can truly call home, I desire financial stability and above all else the desire to be myself.

But we are not free, we do not have basic amenities, nor do we have the freedom to be ourselves. What we do have is 99% wealth hoarded by the top 1%. Rent that costs so much that it would be cheaper to get a mortgage and own our own homes, but we don't make enough money to get a mortgage despite keeping on top of rent payments every month.

We are free to say and think what we want as long as the government agrees with it. We are free to have a roof over our heads as long as the landlords agree with it. We are free to own our own stuff as long as the manufacturers agree with it.

Are we truly free?
