Freedom For All
hands tied to trade overseas
the sands, in time, taking their toll
cracking cuticles of overreachers
while nations shake in anger
an explosive declaration
missiles making patriotism fly
white elephants lead the stampede to war
their endemic tactics failing the front
a fox-faced woman's ruse
railroading objection to crude comments
drilling deep in the peoples' psyche
bootstraps their sole possession
a road to hope paved long ago
