Convoy of Hope

Governments have been intent on 
eradicating our rights one by one
Backing us in a corner with countless 
threats with nowhere to run 

Under the disguise of an experimental vaccine
that has not been proven to be safe
Mandating it, thus taking away our choice 
leaves us all feeling the chafe

Canadian truckers decided to take a stand for freedom and created a freedom convoy 
Which the government, Big Pharma
and the mainstream media are trying to destroy 

At stake is our freedom of choice, our  livelihoods
and the spirit of mankind
Totalitarian society will become a reality 
if the masses remain blind 

To Ottawa the truckers made their long trek
asking all mandates to be dropped 
Reuniting humanity worldwide by the millions
with unity that can not be stopped 

Peaceful demonstrations fueled by hope, 
awareness and an outpouring of love
That our freedoms will be rightly restored
with the grace of God above

Cecilia, as an aside, we were in Canada over Thanksgiving 2023 and loved visiting. Liberty is a complex topic and we hate to see government forcing things on the citizenry. There were a lot of difficult choices made due to Covid and a lot of people ended up dying from the disease. I can understand your angst. I do believe the mandates have been removed now and hope the government did what was in the best interest of all. People will have different opinions for sure.

Cecilia A big Congratulations for writing this. I know how you feel. For I feel the same way as you my Dear. God bless you for standing up for humanity. This is an absolute favorite for me. Congratulations again for standing up for what is right and being a critical thinker... Love your wisdom and courage to write what people in the know really know of what is taking place the others are blind to see and unfortunately are being manipulated by the media which is controlled by the NewWorld Order.

Hello Cecilia ... the one thing that concerned me is governments using extra power with the covid virus; but will they relinquish this power as the pandemic eases. Governments love power - thanks for your fine poem Cecilia - Lindsay

This China virus has been a Godsend to governments all over the world especially in the west. Our rights and freedoms stripped from us for no scientific or medical reason. Covid is all about the great reset - about centralised government, power and control and money. I fear for our kids. Is this the kind of world we want to leave them? Congratulations on an important POTD.

Cecelia, congrats on POTD. Only question I have is: What freedoms can actually be restored at this point? Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are long gone. Freedom of religion is barely alive... While I'm not a huge fan of guns for the average Joe, I give credit to the NRA for fighting tooth and nail to hang onto our Second Amendment rights. ~ Just sayin,' gw

Thank you Gershon. How about freedom of redemption and hope. If more people can be woken up, which the convoy has shone a spotlight on, maybe the world can realize the masses have been lied to. Hugs

Congratulations on your well deserved POTD! You have really hit all the points of contention. Our governments need to stop using its people for their divisive goals. I wrote a piece a while ago, you may want to visit my page. The piece is called "America Where Are You Going".Even though we live in different countries we share the the angst and undermining of our human rights. :)Paulette

It should be a personal choice whether or not you have the vaccine or not. Governments are chipping away at our freedoms and once those laws are passed you never get that freedom back. Congratulations Cecilia on POTD, enjoy the honour. Tom

thanks for writing about the convoy. I am SO proud of those truckers They are doing something remarkable and brave. I know not all Canadians approve but I hope most do. if I were in Canada, I'd be honking like the dickens. i even hear CA is going to do this. Finland is doing it. I think Australia. praise to the truckers. how I hope justice prevails.

We just had an election 6 months ago, most do not. But Canada is definitely free, a mostly white male convoy can set up camp on parliament hill and present a manifesto to dissolve the government and the police are too afraid to do anything. When Ottawa burns, please send marshmallows, I have a great seat.

Yes, ‘with grace of God above.’ We must question mandates when we are told they are experimental yet safe. An oxymoron. Brings to mind all the doctors who handed out thalidomide to all those expecting mothers telling them it was safe when they new it was not, just for greed. There is no turning back from that. Thank you for your post. My prayers are to keep freedom alive and well. Blessings xxoo

Rushed vaccines being forced upon humanity with no long term safety data. Censoring of experts. Abundance of lies. Very sad and concerning.

Ah Cecilia from your heart to God's compassionate one, may this all end soon, and may we all wake up, and realize what is important. Each other and freedom to live our lives, without force, and deceitful lies. Thank you for sharing.
