Forgotten Freedom

In a shallow grave Behind a big old whitewashed house where a tattered flag still waves beside a small cross made with staves and in the wood, clearly carved with the spirit of devolution states, "Here interned today Lies the US Constitution "

A true and fantastic write about the affairs of the world today that involve so many of our rights and freedoms Jerry. I love the way you poetically placed every word. Great job on the honest and true as well as bold deliverance. Have shovel too, will travel to get on the uprising and awakening of our country...Sharon G. :)

Hi Jerry. Great poem and very true. That shallow grave can still be dug up by, We the People. It would be a long hard road but it is always worth it. I was born in Boston, my friend, and freedom is deep in my heart..... Robert.
