Chains:Five Haikus

CHAINS:FIVE HAiKUS



               Cold government chains
               Deciding who I can see
               Worse what I can do

               So silvery bright
               On my wrist very heavy
               Bird of freedom gone

               Chains built all on lies
               Humanity believes all
               Fear is its cold call

               America is gone
               Believes the media song
               Soul moonlight no more

               From a blue state flee
               My call to Freedom lovers
               The doors are closing

A stellar delivery of truth and insight in these five haiku.... We should be paying attention to the greater threat facing us-- dictatorial government overreach. Afav, God bless..

Hello and Greetings, Robert! Tell the world your message! Cowering behind doors, Letting governments run them like pigs with rings in their noses. And more frightening, being grateful for it? All the numbers of dead are exaggerated! The number of recovered persons is Humungus. Meanwhile, the Stockholm Syndrome rules. The gov has already overreached. Wait till he and and she are banned from use. God never created an it. He did create a he and a she to populate the earth. Live free~ Panagiotaxxxx

We seem to be heading the way of strict regimes like nth Korea and the like. Obey or go to correction centres for re-education. It's coming. Tom

Gee, Tom! I can only speak for the USA. Plenty of freedom runs in our blood. True, some think only a "Proletarian" lifestyle is where it's at. Watch Americans kick up dust. They already began. And No, regimes are not popular here! And thank God. Fake news is regime oriented. )) Live freely, Panagiota xxxx
