July 4th, 2024

In America today our president will stand at the Nation's sacred podium (a canned speech) will read from a prompter, he will bluster, pontificate the Democrat lie -- how freedom is truly the apple of his Marxist Party's enslaving Eye -- Freedom on life-support, on oxygen, bed ridden, being prepared to die. No justice from the Justice Department, no law from a Lawless FBI, as for the CIA, collecting their paychecks from Soro's flavors of the day -- let us Freedom loving people join hands and pray...there's not another rigged election, for the other side seems not to care, whether fair, theirs a dastardly evil deception. In America today, a deplorable decay, Freedom seeming little more than an erudite concept: flashy lyrics of a pretentious poem or song. The Devil in our politics, the Devil is man's/woman's greed -- little Devils uniting together, selling their souls -- Freedom not just a novel fanciful premise ~ God sent His Christ to light our way; to open humanity's many cherished, diversified, ethnic doors to Stars and Stripes forever, so that Freedom can seed and wonderfully grow. Blessed Spirit of God's Freedom Loving Nature, on vivid dazzling display! -- Let freedom in the heart's and minds of all Father's varied, precious Lands, freely blossom, and more of said glorious same, in His Name, righteously, freely sow!

Well covered here Joe Dimino..The reality we Experience now the reality that was, and one That could be? We need to look deep in ourselves and try to bring the best we have to All we meet and know.' Better can be achieved Yet we must invoke the Holy Three..Its the only Way ( A day of Christian prayer would be a start) should only twenty fellowships commence.' I beleive we would see a great Improvement.!!

A day of world prayer could not hurt. I agree, Joe; love of God, adherence to His laws is the only way. Many world wars, great natural disasters...what will it take? Maybe instead of the world, start with ourselves and near and dear loved ones. Who knows? Blessings my friend.

You lament over the politically manipulated lies of America, while extolling freedom. It is not something unique to America. Know, it is even worse in many other countries. As long as politicians crave for more power, money and authority, things can't be different. Only by accepting that all men are God's children and real freedom consists in being liberated of all excessive cravings to fatten oneself and clearing the mind from all jealousy and hatred, we can become truly free. A poem demanding great self introspection from leaders of all nations.

Hi Valsa; knowing that it is worse in other countries is not a reason for me to accept evil here...or anywhere else. Abundance is not a sin -- God did not create man to live as beggars...abuse of wealth, greedy hoarding and not sharing is indeed sinful. America has sons and daughters, in nameless graves around the world, who left their security to die on foreign lands and beaches, all in with the spirit of God to prosper His Freedom. National debt has literally bankrupted our nation. Now, whether that money was spent wisely, as foreign aid, to help the world, or skimmed into the pockets of greedy governments (arms manufacturers) is up for honest debate... But the American people know well of the suffering throughout the world -- many having served the world away from the comforts of home for most of their lives.... It is a complex issue -- acceptance of of evil is not the answer. Blessings my friend. As you say -- we serve the same God. One body in heart and soul.

Great patriotic poem. Pity many abuse the freedom given to them.

Hi Victor; given to them by God...just like His Christ, whom they allowed to be abused. People will not know Freedom's true value, until they no longer have any semblance of it. Thank you, my brother. Blessings.

I love this poem. I want my country back. I do not need to explain, apologize, nor change. So soon we forget who we are. You have written a terrific, patriotic poem.

Hi Hilda; we are in total agreement. From the heart!

Freedom has boundaries, is beautiful, sings with pride and joy. Freedom is fought for, not abused. Freedom of loving our fellow countrymen. Freedom repents of mistakes and is forgiven, nearly forgotten. Freedom moves us forward, doesn’t rob us or do violence to us, saves. Freedom clearly survives when Christ is glorified not men. Freedom believes in itself, doesn’t collapse nor terrorize, nor kill even metaphorically. Freedom!

Hi Kim; well said. The only slight difference I would say, Freedom has no boundaries -- must be free. God made Law to rectify man's mistakes when freedom abused. I know what you mean, many people, especially young people feel that freedom means you should do whatever you want, whenever you want. Good to emphasize that that is a road to hell. Freewill is not a free-pass to do harm. We must take care though, no matter how deeply felt our sense of values -- neither politicians nor priests should be dictators. No easy fix. By example, to live Christ...the only way.

Hi Anne; yep! The Devil is horns and flames if you want him to present that way...but, more often, he is the subtle evils we do one another.

Greed definitely is the devils bestfriend, so many fight from the very beginning of time, because of greed, greed over land wealth power etc. hence why i agree with that line and politics too today i see is used as a deceptive tactic to manipulate and lure naive ones. In all over the world. I like how you openl express always. And happy fourth of july. Must be all fireworks there? Enjoy.

Hi IE. Right now barbecues, swimming in backyard pools (Phoenix) (114 today) -- in a couple more hours, when the sun starts to set, fireworks will start, blazing the sky, with man-made light and ignited thunder. It's always exciting to watch. With many terrorists feared unknowingly allowed into the nation, wide open Southern Border, I suspect celebrating folks will be using a third eye for protection. Blessings my friend.

What is freedom my friend? People in the US will feel a lot more free than some in other countries, which I do not want to mention... are any of us free? We are all tied to something... I can understand your sentiments though..

I can't give you a definitive in a few paragraphs...but I can tell you what it isn't -- it isn't Russia, China, North Korea and their likes. Closest thing we have ever had, as far as governments go, has been the USA. Something that needs to be protected, and sometimes reestablished by its people. Freedom is always preferable over the many enslaving alternatives Marxist offer. May be a purely American folly...don't know. Thank you, my friend -- wishing peace and prosperity for the world.
