Author notes
Hmm, I think I need to make the questioning nature more obvious, I am going to come back to this.
I really like my definitions right now.

Interesting concept. Taking a dictionary entry and transforming it into a question. Good work, keep working on it.

This is indeed deep. I like the title, it suits the poem. Also, I have a thing for poems with unique formats borrowed from other types of writing, like dictionary definitions for instance. The "definitions" you've given really do send out some questions, such as whether we really need violence and limitations to be free. I think if it really is so it may be not because we can't have freedom otherwise but because we can't value the freedom we have before these. If that makes any sense to you. There is not one word wasted in this. The only thing I'm not sure about is the word "crefew" in the last line. Did you mean "curfew"? But that's just one word and I loved this poem.
