Inversion

Now that the world Is upside down Inside out Back to front Turned around And standing on its head, Now that the truth Is vilified Spat upon And trampled underfoot, What of those Who dare to speak out Against all the lies The corruption The propaganda The disinformation The censorship The deplatforming And the whole rotten globalist One world agenda, What of those who dare To raise their heads above the parapet Will they not soon be silenced Or imprisoned Or maybe even put to death.

Fantastic poem W.A Probably I suppose the question is it a cost or cause you deem worthy of paying the ultimate price for. And will your self sacrifice be in vain or will they just carry on regardless

Some would prefer death to being in a world where they are unable to live and breathe freely. Things are getting more and more unconstitutional. You bring up some good points here.

Rhetorical question, I'm afraid. War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery... Screens to monitor our every move...We have arrived at the horror of Orwell's 1984... Worse late than never! :) gw
