Freedom Lost

Here in the autumn of year 2012 I mourn freedoms lost as do many other of my countrymen I mourn the loss of these freedoms; blindly legislated away Freedoms that our fathers fought and died to win and knew so very well I weep for our children that know not what has been taken from them Freedoms taken from us or simply given away in the name of security Freedoms forsaken in the name of security is also a chain that tightly binds These many chains cast upon us will eventually lead us into bondage In bondage none will raise a voice for they want not for anything Wanting for nothing but for the freedom that was given away
