W.A. Cholt Poet Free verse

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.

Christopher Flaherty August 14, 2020 at 3:41 PM 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

M. L. Kiser August 13, 2020 at 4:19 PM 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.

Gershon Wolf August 2, 2020 at 5:31 PM 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
