2019-2020 SoCS Badge by Shelley!
It’s Saturday and time for LindaGHill’s #SoCs. Strong language but not gratuitous.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “toss.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
She slammed the door shut and slung her bag over her shoulder. Marching up the road she felt a sense of relief flow over her. Her bag was not heavy just a few essentials.
New life, new job, a future. As she walked along the canal she stopped to toss her rings and door keys into the murky waters.
Free from that selfish tosser, free from criticism, that last punch had not broke her it had made her!
Would he cope…. She didn’t give a toss!

This week Helen Vahdati has asked us to post songs about freedom.
I wanted to come at this prompt from a slightly different angle. There are many brilliant freedom songs , protest songs and celebratory songs.
I have chosen Queen and “I want to break free” I am not sure exactly what they were saying in this song but I get a very strong message from the lyrics. The lyrics tell me we need to break away from the ties of convention, from gender rolls, from controlling people and how we are expected to act.
Freedom from war and oppression is very important but also freedom from personal oppression and being tied down by society’s expectations is very important and is often swept under the carpet.
From the young girl trapped in an arranged marriage, to the partner in a mentally abusive marriage, to anyone trapped in the wrong sex, to lesbian and gay rights , to anyone being bullied young or old to anyone who needs to spread their wings and fly.
Okay I have ranted on enough, who knew I felt so strongly on the subject.
“I Want To Break Free”
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You’re so self satisfied I don’t need you
I’ve got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free.
I’ve fallen in love
I’ve fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it’s for real
I’ve fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I’ve fallen in love.
It’s strange but it’s true
I can’t get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to be free,
Oh how I want to break free.
But life still goes on
I can’t get used to, living without, living without,
Living without you by my side
I don’t want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can’t you see
I’ve got to break free.
I’ve got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free

She is alive and primed, on fire
Taught her body as if on a high wire
She flies and swirls like a cape through the air
Tossing her head like a bull, wisps slip from her hair.
Her feet clip and tap making sparks and flame
She is smoking hot and on top of her game.
No longer in the first flush of youth
Yet her beauty is there and her knowledge is proof!
No Katniss she older and wiser she
Yet in tune with Miss Everdeen she strives to be free.
Her spirit yearns to escape she is on fire
She draws us all in to teach and inspire .
So Katniss as much as I admire and love you
Sadly the fight you have fought is nothing new
It has forever been the work of the oppressed
To stand up and fight , on fire like the dress.

I need to run I need the wind in my hair
I need to fly I need to reach the sun
Run, jump, soar and spin show some flair.
I want excitement, elation and fun!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rooftop to wall , night skies see all
Spin across the railings , brake fall
Hit the ground running never crawl.
Wind catches my clothes , sprawl
Clear the grass climb the wall
Up up don’t fall
I am small
When I
Run!

Hot sun upon my skin , gentle breeze lifts my hair and cools me
I am relaxed my mind is spinning free, here upon the shore listening to the sea.
I am alone, I am at peace , I love to be here on the shore
Silver reflections dancing on the water, I wish this peace could last forevermore.
The birds wheel and swoop I hear their cries
My heart calls out to them, as do my arms as away they fly.
Alone and solitary but feeling free the sand between my toes
I may be miles away and sad but to my favourite beach my mind flows.

Today’s theme is Freedom, so I have found what I feel expresses freedom in all it’s for. Freedom of love , the mind , the soul and the body.
I hope I have dug deep enough. The posts should be self explanatory.
Freedom Fortunes
cry Freedom
Cry Freedom is a 1987 British drama film directed by Richard Attenborough, set in the late 1970s, during the apartheid era
of South Africa. The screenplay was written by John Briley based on a pair of books by journalist Donald Woods.
The film centres on the real-life events involving black activist Steve Biko and his friend Donald Woods,
who initially finds him destructive, and attempts to understand his way of life. Denzel Washington stars as Biko,
while actor Kevin Kline portrays Woods. Cry Freedom delves into the ideas of discrimination, political corruption, and the
repercussions of violence. read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cry_Freedom
Roots
Colonial times[edit]
In The Gambia, West Africa, in 1750 Kunta Kinte is born to Omoro Kinte (Thalmus Rasulala), a Mandinka warrior,
and his wife, Binta (Cicely Tyson). When Kunta (LeVar Burton) reaches the age of 15, he and a group of other
adolescent boys take part in tribal manhood training, ending with a ceremony, after which they become recognized
as men and Mandinka warriors. While trying to carry out a task to catch a bird and take it home unharmed, Kunta
sees white men carrying firearms, along with their black collaborators. Later, while fetching wood outside his
village to make a drum for his younger brother, Kunta is captured by black collaborators under the direction of white men.
He is then sold to a slave trader and placed aboard a ship under the command of Capt. Thomas Davies (Edward Asner) for a
three-month journey to Colonial America. During the voyage a group of rebels among the human cargo try but fail to stage
a mutiny and to take over the ship.
The ship eventually arrives in Annapolis, Maryland, where the captured Africans are sold at auction as slaves. John Reynolds
(Lorne Greene), a plantation owner from Spotsylvania County, Virginia, near Fredericksburg, buys Kunta and gives him the name
Toby. Reynolds assigns an older slave, Fiddler (Louis Gossett Jr.), to teach Kunta to speak English and to train him in the ways
of living and working as a chattel slave. Kunta, in a persistent struggle to become free again, makes several unsuccessful
attempts to escape. Additionally, to preserve his Mandinka heritage and maintain his Mandinka roots, he does not want to change
his name. An overseer, Ames (Vic Morrow) gathers the slaves and directs one of them to whip Kunta after his latest attempt to
escape and to continue whipping him until he finally acknowledges his new name.
