Calling All Stalwart Hearts

A change is coming here!
It will be announced when. 
As of this moment, dear!
It's a chance for you to stop
being frightened by all the 
leftist pens!

So make space, come out of
your closets, I implore you.
Plenty of blood was lost for you, 
years ago.
So you would be free to express 
yourself.
By a Creator who created and 
loves you.

There is space for all sides.
Who listen and who love.
But you do nothing by hiding
your truth.
Don't be part of a dark sky,
Where there is no sun!

Do not soupmail me with 
answers that lively spark.
Please stop hiding here in
your closet, Conservative,
Let go your idealogical sparks!

True, most poets favor the
leftist ideal.
Nothing wrong with that, but
time to hear both sides, for once 
and for real.
No Conservative should be
shaking in their boots.
Let it all hang out, have a real hoot!

Stop cowtowing to liberalism!
Your heart is not in it, makes for a 
patriotic soul schism.
Stand up openly in Open post for the 
babies that will be killed.
Otherwise, you are nothing but a 
Conservative shill.

We can all be friends, whether Left 
or Right.
It has always been so in America.
Time to take on deadly forces of 
Big Tech and fight!

Both sides will lose, if all our freedom 
is gone.
All you will hear is goose steps and 
propaganda's malicious song.
Stop being a chicken, saying
you will write of nothing political.
We have the power of the pen....
Its very real and hardly mythical.

Perhaps it's because we never lived 
in a big war on our land?
I know many who look down
on a war...
Don't you get it?
Hitler or his cruel henchman
would now rule many lands!

Hitler demanded obedience
from all.
Do not let it become today's 
clarion call.
We need not all be thinking like 
twins.
If you keep your pen quiet,
nobody wins! 
Comments to a poem like this 
may be absent or few.
But I care for liberty?
What about you?

Truly exceptional call for parity, clarity and equality my dear and enlightened friend! Certainly what poet can rightly cry foul to the concept that poets should and must be allowed to present heart and soul's great truths- and not fear negative reprisals.. Else Poetry suffers and those causing that suffering should themselves be ashamed, imho. A fav.. God bless..

Poetically said, Robert! Freedom of expression is major to have a free society. Reprisals abound unless you please the masses?? Ironic these same people eat the nightly narrative as gospel truth. Swallowed in a Propoganda Whale of lies.Dare one write of truth? Be prepared to be ignored, possibly hated. And, so what? If a man cannot stand for truth, then what is he! A balloon of hot air that rhymes or haikus? Thank you for visiting and FAVIng, my friend....Panagiota

As others have said, the pen is mightier than the sword. Reminds me of that saying, for evil to flourish good men and women sit back and do nothing. You write for what you believe is right and speak for those that cant speak for themselves. Well written Pangie. Tom

I have no issues with what you said. For example, the massage attacks were called RACIST. When not all who died were Asian. The number Of attacks on Asians last year was 158 Attacks on Jews was 958. Propoganda loves Racism. It i Their Bible. Hence, news LIES. Few stations are truthful. "the truth shall set you free" is more than true here. But lies predominate.they never tell the Number of children killing themselves, nor the bonuses teachers got for staying home and taking vacations. A country of pinheads! With those who hate America, in charge. Maybe I do speak for those who will not or cannot, Tom Thank you, Pamgie xx

Heya Pangie, expressionism is a poets duty, in my book anyway, I write for all and sundry, and will not be deterred by any political or religious dogmas, we have to say what’s in our hearts, not to offend but wake people up, you really needed to get this off your chest, and you nailed it, kudos to you, cheers David

Love your spectacular comment. Monarch butterflies will not save the USA.)) write all we want about them! We do not write to offend! People are unaware. The news is PROPGANDA that backs errors. We may be poets, but this country is on the brink of collapse. Taxed to death and uneducated children...taught bogus new age history. I am glad you pen courageous Poetry. Thank you for commenting...Pangie xx

Thanks for speaking out, Pangie. We need this country to unite and pull together but it doesn't look like JoJo the Clown is doing much about it. That border crises that JoJo owns is creating havoc in the country and all he and his cronies are doing is sitting around picking their noses and doing nothing about it! Bob

The estimate I heard, Bob, is that we will have 19 million illegals here by next year. Guess who pays. Working Americans. COVid is being brought in...means more death. I don't think schools will ever open again. I don't know who is running the country. All his mistakes including falls, are hidden by the huge Propoganda machine! Even he does not know who the President is or whalers he is. This endangers citizens of the world. PANGIE.XX THEY ARE CLISING GITMO SO TERRORISTS CAN LIVE IN THE USA. TERRIFYING..

Thats Ok, Darlene. It's mostly a problem here in the uS. I was simply saying liberals are unafraid to say what they feel. Conservatives are afraid to say a thing! Thank you for being refreshingly honest. Pangie xx
