"let Freedom Reign"

Let freedom rain like the drops from the sky Let freedom reign it was said but to me it’s a lie What does it mean to be free? In this world free is of an idea Not reality so in all actuality how can freedom reign Free: not enslaved or held captive Enjoying personal rights and liberty But the truth is that I pay for the air That I breathe I literally live for a fee In a world where potent politicians Navigate words persuasively Covering up the corrupt Just to keep it away from me, away from we See they give us no choices This comes with no explanations And they can curve any path they want With no direct destination Yet still in a world where every boy & girl Wants to be an entertainer or famous an actor or actress And supposedly this is the land of the free But yet I’m caged paying taxes And I see the white collar worker trapped in his castle Mugging us and bugs to us as if we are a hassle So he digs in my pocket trying to profit And it’s illegal to stop it so I just sit what a look that is baffled It’s like their robbing us blind But we clearly can see it Because we see between the lines But between the lines we don’t read it So that means they keep feeding The land of the free where gas a gallon is a dollar plus three The land of the free where candidates are uttering trust me But there must be a way for a change But until that day just “LET FREEDOM REIGN”

That's why we the people must stand up for what is right and hold those we elect accountable. Taking charge of our lives is the only way to be free. This is a thought provoking piece. Though we have our problems, it's still great to be living in the USA. Thank you for your kind words regarding my poem. Keep on writing. Karen
