Notes About The Poem

Watching my country become enslaved to a government check. Frustration setting in knowing this isn't the same country I served for 30 years. Obama was right. We DO need change but not 2oth century change. we need 1776 change.

Another Form of Slavery

Another Form of Slavery

A liberal perception of being free
Is creating a complete dependency
Population refuses to see
IAnother form of slavery

A sense of purpose, educate
Self respect will liberate
The walls come down, integrate
Erasing all the racism and hate

Government and the powers that be
Do not want equality
Thriving on class animosity
Another form of slavery

The media helps fuel the fire
No leadership that will inspire
Why not the peasants do inquire
Reporter just a gun for hire

No future that we can foresee
Criminal complicity
Dependency doesn’t set you free
Another form of slavery

Socialism never freed a nation
Only destruction of liberation
Worship government an obligation
Mentally incarceration

Now removed all liberty
No personal responsibility
Government dependency
Another form of slavery

When only a few are left employed
And the Constitution is destroyed
All incentive is null and void
Liberals will be overjoyed

Pride and purpose seek anonymity
Survival skills a memory
Life itself disability
Another form of slavery.
