A Poetess's Patriotic Plea






                    ~ My Plea~

Without my liberty, oh God,what is there?
Just staring into controlled, fetid air?

Where lies make me utterly stone-cold frozen,
I cannot move unless I am chosen?

A walking corpse, if there be such a thing.
Muzzled face, with a gold nose ring!

"Animal Farm" come to life!
Don't speak, you'll cause so much strife!

The beginning of our very end!
All nations so darn fearful of one rule to bend.

This is far more hurtful than any war.
Our stand for our liberty, we foreswore.

Freedom of assembly, what is that?
With our Constitution, shredded, on the floor,in our flats.

God now locked behind unlawfully shut doors?
In the name of health, more than a bore.

Good Americans take down your flags.
You have surrendered and now live in CoVid land?

Take it back, I beg you, our future is in our hands.
Don't let it wash away in socialistic sands!

               God Bless America!
              ~ Land That I Love~

Important message given in fine verse. Are we to give up our freedoms in the name of a false security- one that can not truly be guaranteed? That seems to be the path they are attempting to --herd -- us down my friend. Let your poetic pen continue to sings its light, its song. A fav..

Hello! I am not one of the herd! Sweden is wide open! The EU furious they won't shut down. Amazingly, they do not have a zany death count. Germany reopened today..no masks. A crock anyway...masks.hiding from our grandchildren! B.S. the US has to shut down to destroy Trump. Nothing else. Panagiota xxx

Hi Panagiota, I agree with Lindsay, until we are safe from this virus and until we fight back and send it to hell, where it belongs, we are not free! What I have noticed and do like is that countries and their people are rallying for the same cause, an unseen enemy. International social unity is called for, something that has never existed to date. Love and hugs Panagiota mou. Jennifer.

Do you mean like the WHO never telling all the countries that many were dying in China! That's Real international Cooperation. The USA closed their borders! Cheers! We were on lockdown before other countries. As I told Lindsay, flus do mutate. We cannot hide at home. We cannot crush the Constitution. We had it here last fall in CA. And no 5G towers like NYC has. Stay free, Panagiota xx

Hello Panagiota … all of humanity has not had to combine for a very long time to hold back an enemy that continues to find openings that our carelessness provides. Humanity must destroy it entirely before we are safe - keep safe Panagiota - Lindsay

This virus can mutate into another form, Lindsay! We have had the Spanish Flu that mutates into another form 100 years. Read Jeremy Brown. He lives in the UK and maybe on you tube. None of us are safe from death. I have been at home for almost two full months . Long before orders were given. So for my part, I have been more than cautious! Stopping CV19 totally is a never. People with flu vaccine still get the flu. Stay free, Panagiota xx we can't crush this like a visible army.
