I think that this poem can be interpreted in so many ways, like you say.

It is much easier perhaps to have someone to always tell us what to do than to have that freedom of free choice. Your poem shows this very well. A unique perspective which makes the reader think.

Countries need to deal with a both/and relationship to be respected by other nations. How can anyone give up a hard earned freedom? As a love poem/song--I have heard it too often from both men and women. I like the stability of commitment, though, if it includes freedom and independence..Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-53010148364281564722015-07-01T05:48:55.899-11:002015-07-01T05:48:55.899-11:00I LOVE "the cackling hag of free choice"...I LOVE "the cackling hag of free choice"!!!!
