FREEDMAN

Noun, plural 'freedmen'.
Origin: freed + man.
1. A man who has been freed from slavery.

"This Freedman's a wanderer. He roams the earth. Caught in a neverending now, he's neither here nor there, but always coming and going, arriving and leaving, escaping, fleeing, journeying. In any case, he is unable to stay. To stay is to die. That's why Freedmen tend to prefer losing their way in scenic landscapes, sometimes real, sometimes imaginary. In order to survive - to keep on going - they take their losses with stride and pride, as poets should. Except that, mostly, Freedmen don't rhyme. Their verses and meters are free too. They speak in want or overflow of words to say. In want of words to speak with, they sing. You are invited to sing along."
