Freedom

The world is so absurd
people think their wishes Trump
true freedoms
honourable freedoms

They detest
education
women's rights
minority rights
Science, vaccines, empathy
freedom of children not to be shot in schools
They distort and lie
		and lie and lie

Their tin foil hats of hate
the manifesto of all extremists
	who need guns to be men

Beware someone who screeches "freedom"
then takes away yours

Those who care so much for the unborn
do zero for the born and the needy
socialism is against their freedoms
Western nations laugh as they proclaim
dire sadness
at the ludicrousness
of the Taliban and USA
allies in repression of freedom
in the name of freedom

you are so right not everyone who screams freedom has the best card at hand for you, and the Country at large. Nicely penned dear Arthur thank you
