Thoughts on Free Thought

[Janterra]

The theme of this poem is one i feel is definitely present throughout. I do like seeing poems directed towards more abstract ideas such as freedom of thought. Overall it was quite enjoyable.

I'm free to think and do as I please.
Unbound and freed by Socrates- I don't entirely understand the use of "Socrates'" name here. I asume it is used as reference to him being the "father" of western philosophy.
To live and dream and spread the word
Of lessons often left unheard.
For from within, one finds their peace.

I'm free to think and do as I please.
No walls or chains or locks or keys
Can suffocate or dominate
My innate need to cogitate.
For from within, one finds their peace.

I'm free to think and do as I please.
Opposing vile tyrannies- The meanig of this line is not entirely clear to me.
A call to all, though few will heed.
By my own will I intercede.
For from within, one finds their peace.

I won’t be bound by foreign will.
No rule so bold and brash and shrill
Shall box my precious sanctity
Of individuality.
By my own will I have found peace.
