Freedom

Indeed, we have given up. Freemen, once...now happy slaves? No longer able to drink from a Church cup. We are the most willing knaves. Tragically, to those who unlawfully locked us up. Stockholm Syndrome has us by the throat. We are grateful to our masters for our lifelong sentence? Never realizing we must be the butt of jokes. Contended as our end draws near. Taken prisoner by a phenomenal, life-demeaning hoax. September 12, 2020 7pm PST

Sad state the world is in and not just in the USA, Only by everyone working together will this hoax be shown up for what it is, a big hoax that those in power have taken advantage of. Tom

No kidding. I even heard of clothing that prevents Covid. What's next? Running shoes that kill covid. Worse tho, the masks. People brainwashed to think it's patriotic. If you don't, you are a killer? One day people will wake up. Pangie xx

Sadly, most people now-days, never served in the military, have only given politics a nod around election time, and have had no exposure, other than communist propaganda to civics in their public schools. Parents too busy chasing the American Dream, to keep their eyes on the balls in play. Their own. The guilty will scatter like cockroaches, when the lights turned on, after the election. Our president has rightly waited till after the election to put a stop to this. The public is awakened.

Prince de Mino! Greetings. There are poets here who were in the military. And the uSA has many retired military. But it's no longer considered a badge of honor. Burning the flag, pushing socialist doctrine is in. Look at the number of responses to this poem... YOU! Freedom is defined as ANTIFA and all I said in the poem. After the election, they will spend another 40 million in attempts to overthrow the election. We live is sad times. One of 30,000 poets, you, is not afraid to express his views. Poets are generally, radicals. Trophies and popularity above the USA? Yes. Worse, any leader who does well is trashed. Only violence is honored...Panagiota xx
