How Very Much I Do Despise

How very much I do despise, 
The  tyranny of fear and lies.
That throws us at each others throats.
Like rabid, heartless billy-goats.

A stench-filled world, where morality
no longer exists.
The only things honored are thugs
and fists.

Where you are censored, if you do not
follow the crowd.
With their hooves they will stomp you,
If you dare sing your own song

Where jackasses on TV, bray everyday.
Filling our hearts with hopeless, idiotic dismay.

Threats against all freedoms are du jour.
As mindless billy goats do cheer and concur.

Idiotic mandates are freedom's foe.
From a mindless loon in the White House, an 
unintelligible schmoe, named Joe?

Freedom is not only under attack in the United States, but actually all over the world. The imbecile in chief is an incompetent fool!

I second that motion. I want to weep for our once free country. Hats off to the Aussies who have taken to the streets by the100’s., who want their freedom back, That person in the WH is being used as A dummy. Others run the USA. Not him. People here who think the USA is still free are missing marbles or in denial. Ten bets..are fans of Don LEmon. Arg Pangie
