Freedom Or Whatever
Freedom or whatever
Is it a wonderful idea where we can say what we like?
To act as we like without concern what others might think.
I believe in free speech voicing what life has taught me
and part of this is that freedom carries responsibility.
dare I say, compassion for others.
In Europe’s cities and the USS, people are demonstrating
they do not want their freedom curtailed,
not to wear masks and not vaccinated.
they do not think of people who by their actions might
make other bystanders catch the Virus and die.
Every régime of every description will try to get more power
and they must be resisted, but not now.
When times are right, they must be fought the alternative
is fascism, the enemy of freedom will seduce the half-baked
people to look for leaders who despite fine words
have nothing to offer but autocracy.
