Freedoms Just a Lie

Kim Jong-un is a vile North Korean leader, who hides behind a smile. He places himself first inciting war and hate, of all men, he's the worst. Cheering his cocky strut you have the same rights, as any other mutt. You have the right to die when and how he chooses, for freedom's just a lie. You have the right to crawl and cow down on your knees, as he makes you feel small. You have the right to give him all that you possess, and be grateful you live. (Tercets) 8/25/2015

We've seen this even in some of those states that claim to espouse democracy. A powerful piece, Emile. All the best in the contest.

G'day Emile... there does not appear to be any human rights in North Korea but who sponsors this evil regime. Good luck in the contest Emile - Lindsay
