While My Pen Is Free

While my pen is free, I will write! I will transpire words of truth on paper white with Pen dipped from heart's crimson flow. And what shall I write? "Roses are red, violets are blue"? My youthful "love" poetry is now far spent! Maturity has now taken over. What then shall I write? What of social injustice: Yesterday's "-ites" cloaked in today's "-isms"? Shall I write of poverty and shame, Oppression and tyranny's rule, Enslavement, imprisonment, and Murder en masse? History is once again repeating itself! Evil rulers and justices: "Tyrants" all, Are sitting high and lofty, Calling evil "good" and good "evil", Demoralizing, demonizing, Passing laws and rulings Contrary to the Laws of G-D, Vilifying and slaughtering en masse Christians and Jews, Babies, the elderly, and the handicapped Throughout the world, And without a public outcry. And all those who stand in the way of their "agenda", Political dissidents from all walks of life, Are either silenced or removed. "A 'One World' Order!" They say. In their supremacy, they desire To brainwash and indoctrinate the "leftovers", Like refuse discarded. Shall I remain silent when I, in the past, Wondered how the Holocaust was allowed By countless many who hid in silence For fear of reprisal? No! I shall mercilessly speak out Against all inhumanity metered out By evil tyrants' blows! Go far from me if you seek half truths! Go far from me if you desire To hear words that tickle the ears! For you shall find no such words written Within the pages of my heart. I shall not lull you to sleep With comforting words! What choice do you have? What choice do I have? The sinister walls of delusion Have to be destroyed! While my pen is free, I will write And I will speak! For I have found a voice That has finally found its platform.
