The Title means that this country is free but not in some places. This poem is about modern slavery and how people get arrested and get enslaved They too closed their ears to detainees' wails but

under the groans of the labourers whose

children were made to dance under stinging whips.

The title means that it wasn't a free country. The poem is about slavery. The spikes strayed into the flesh still

and the prisoners marched, dancing as they

went into a little hut where all the free

people were herded and locked up like cattle. I thinks this is the most important line because it means they were in jail.

On the radio, in the papers owned by the masters

we heard the story of our hard-earned freedom

repeated daily, hourly by the minute till our ears

gradually grew deaf and our sight impaired

by the daily flow of blood which the sun wept

and sought the cloth of the winds to dry it.
