Buttons On the Remote

They put us all in the institution And threw away the key They say there's no more constitution And freedom isn't free The voting machines have infections They won't tabulate the votes Russia's running the election With the buttons on their remote The senate does nothing at all To stop the runaway train The writing's on the wall Can you feel the pain When the smoke has cleared And all the babes stop crying It will seem so weird To know that freedom's dying 5-3-19

I think compared to some countries, there is still a lot of freedom, but people are abusing it and not taking care. Good one, Joseph

Sometimes it feels like there is No Hope, as these moments of havoc surround us. Everything is changing, and not for the better. Your thoughts are so deep and powerful. All we can do is continue to Pray for our World. My best to you. ~ Brandy
