The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Fear Walks the Earth

Fear walks the earth in such  farcical costumes.
Frightening our emotions, forthwith goes 
our rationality.
Those in power, shamelessly, stealing our
freedoms.
Showing their total absence of any morality.

Do not trust the media for science, empirical!
Do due diligence online!
Lest you fall for masks, vaccines and yearly
lockdowns.
Find your own knowledge, may it be magical.

The total number of dead is a twisted number, 
not true.
Yet we joyfully let politicians allow it 
to rule us.
Using the number of dead,as the ultimate,
fiendish, controller.
This poet cannot think of liberty stolen, in a fashion, 
so dishonest and disgustingly heinous!

Tom, they believe google, twitter, Facebook, newspapers. They drown in these. Many take them at face value as Biblical truth.. We are inundated day and night. They simply believe it. They were never taught how to analyze or think. Some....do not want to. "it is too hard".?? Pangie....

You nailed the truth again, Pangie, in this very profound verse. I respect you for being bold enough to speak out about how things really are in this country and around the world. Don't let anyone silence you! You say things that need to be said! Bob

Hello in Colorado! Truth cannot be silenced, you know that. Our time on earth is not long. I loathe posting stupid, meaningless nothing. Heck, I can read a cookbook for that. Or any newspaper. I try to post Soul Poetry. Not here to impress anyone especially with cute or modern forms. In my soul am anything but cute. I hope to be yet more brazenly open and honest. Others here are bigger talents than I. Nor here to be a stand up. Been there, done that. I am happiest being honest. All cards on the table. No halo showing. And to honor the best here! Pangie )))). Merci No Troply~ Pangie

My wife's friends, from Russia and Ukraine, all refer to Mr. Biden as 'Leonid Ilych,' i.e., former Soviet President Brezhnev's first and middle name. Speaks volumes there. Happy Wednesday, Pangie! :) gw

Tis, yet another midweek. Gershon, as ever, delightful and full of cheek! With great knowledge of past history! His replies in friendship, and depth, doth both bespeak. Written for you, by Pangie for just being you! Xx
