Let Freedom Ring

I have something to say and for what lies ahead to God Almighty we must incessantly pray. We look up to those we should shun..... We are taught about violence We are taught to fear guns Yet we fight with weapons and deadly puns...... who are the responsible for the deterioration of the values of our loved ones? Are you and I free to decide what is right or wrong or must we hold our heads up high and sing the song that wasn't meant to be sung..... " Let freedom ring" with it's dubious and misleading intricacies with horror I observe the veiled atrocities of all those who continue to abuse power.... Are we truly living in the land of the free. do we fear or are we blind to what the elite condition us to believe Are we Ok living in a so called "Democracy" with the rules of those who are higher up? Is anyone yet fed up? Do they now have ways of holding our liberties hostage or our youth in bondage... Dear Mr. President are we citizens or residents are we slaves of the corrupt or should be thankful and just shut the hell up.... Has our freedoms been sold or am I just being bold is it a sin to speak with truth are the ones in power not the ones hiding the proof and silencing the masses with drugs and trances. I am here cause I still have a voice even if in everything else we have no choice.... I have witnessed the daily tragedies of of our once beloved nation with great indignation. They say we live in democracy but we are not heard ,we are not the voice of the people; we are living in dictatorship and loving every minute of it because we are told what to think hear and speak and we care not know what we are fighting for " freedoms" but we are not FREE....

I enjoyed this sincere poem, and the nice flow it had to it. We're certainly being fed a lot of untruths out there.
