                                        Inspired by Maus, by Art Spiegelmann







                                   F r e e d o m

                 Jubilant bunnies hopping through peaceful meadows
                            Soaring, free-living, encouraging

                         Liberty, equality, t yranny, repression,

                         Persecut ing, suppressing,  revoking
               Frigid, bleak, bit ing weat her t hat  seems t o last  forever.

                                    The glow and radiance of summer sunlight; the warmth and kisses coming
                                                                    from above.

                                                      Running, beaming, and melodic singing

                                     Forests filled with undiscovered wonders, but  wit hin t he woodland lies
                                                             beast s wait ing for night .

                                                      Moaning, howling, and infinit e crying

                                   Lit t le mice hiding from razor sharp bear claws; t heir bodies in shambles
                                                                   in t he cold air.

                      Contented, jubilant feelings of having zero limitations
                             Skipping, bouncing, and leaping liberally

           Fresh scent of vast vibrant and blossoming flowers; frigid, confining st eel
                                          bars of prison
                            St umbling, wait ing, and glowering alone
