1. Based on the terms used in the poem, I think the author was living in a province when she wrote the
poem. Province, because there are lines such as:

The flock of birds perched in the loft To the rustling of leaves

The blades of grass in the meadow To the chirping of birds
And the cogon flowers in the air. To the buzzing of the bees
I will Listen to the sound of breeze To the flapping of butterfly’s wings

The details in the lines can be usually seen and experienced when you are in an environment like in the
province or rural places.

2. I am very sure that the occurring event in our society that influences the author to write the poem is
lockdown or community quarantine due to coronavirus pandemic. Also, in this kind of situation, the
author transformed what she experienced in the surrounding and create this kind of art, poem.

3. The message of the author in the poem is about giving hope and support for the people especially the
medical workers and front liners who are willing to risk their lives for the sake of the others. It is not just

Slavery is something contrary to

freedom.
The condition of being free or at
freedom instead of in
imprisonment or under actual
restriction

Freedom is an absolute right.

Wake up to a world of freedom, for

it’s yours

Break the shackles of intimidation

Obstruct the advances of brutality,
and hold onto freedom
Seek for freedom,

And pummel the entryway on the

world of abandonment
