Poem Title:
Poem
"All men and woman created by you know, you know the thing" You know... the thing from which it actually states "all men are created equal." You know... the thing from which "we hold these truths to be self-evident." You know... the thing from which "that they are endowed by their Creator." You know... the thing for which blood was shed and we died for "with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." You know.. the thing where it says "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." And you know... where the thing also says "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government" You know... the thing... the thing. The thing that established what you swore an oath to defend... the thing. The thing for which oceans bled red on foreign shores to remove flags of red like fascism, communism, and imperialism... the thing. The thing called blood, that soaked dirt so through and through, that it created mud that stained our sons and daughters so deep that it penetrated their mind and soul with PTSD... the thing. The thing... Yes, that thing... That thing we call God That thing we call Country That thing we call Family That thing we call FREEDOM Yes, that thing. That thing we take so much for granted. That thing that we should hold so dear, that for which we would die. That thing that we should love so much, that we would send our sons and daughter to die to defend. Yes! That thing. That thing that pisses us off, that you would elect a person who would simply call it "the thing," you know... "the thing." Yes! That thing... that thing, Americans care about. --- JOE BIDEN FLUBS DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND GETS BELLIGERENT: ‘YOU KNOW THE THING!’ 3/2/2020 Poem by Martin Braun, 3/4/2020
