Earl Schumacker Poet Free verse

Freedom To Be Pink

The newspapers call me crazy
I have a right to believe in pink
The media is angry with me
They want me to say impeach
Or eat a peach
Excuse me! Did I really say pink?
I meant to say impeach
Pretty in pink
I think what I say and say what I mean
This is America! I can say anything
Is our president really impeached?
Or is this Venezuela or Haiti?
Are our news outlets ISIL, Al Qaeda and Boko Haram?
I have a right to say freedom of speech
I have a right to my freedom of pink
My freedom to be pink

J.R. Wren-Ingalls December 23, 2019 at 1:54 PM I love that you are speaking your mind and not letting crumpled paper and foghorn media influence you, nor are you being suffocated by sterile PC culture. Keep writing, it shows other people they have freedom of thought and can express it too! Thank you for your work. Earl Schumacker December 23, 2019 at 4:00 PM Hi J.R. Thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed it. True. I am the least PC person in the world. Have a great day and a Merry Christmas too. Earl
