Nations of Compassion

Nations of Compassion? Follow the crowd, or else, Your goose is cooked but good. Bend your square head in obeisance. Keep your lofty ideas to yourself! The only truth that matters now, Is the suppression by the maddening crowd. Go, hence, to your humble corner now! We allow no freedom of expression. For we are the masters of oppression. Where lies magically become truth. That is our omnipotent, potent obsession. Go toot your truth elsewhere. It's our way or the lonely highway. We rule the kingdoms, sans compassion. Where you and your individualism, Are not wanted, in our globalist fashion! July 12, 2020 7pm PST

G'day Panagiota … we are so dumbed down by regulations now that it worries me on how much more freedom we will get back once this pandemic finally passes - thank you Panagiota - Lindsay

Indeed, Hitler did plenty of the same things. Some governors here are replicants of Hitler. All they need is a mustache. California just closed most businesses tomorrow, BY SS Commandant Herr Newsom,a madman. I share your concerns.. How much freedom will we get back? Notice how poets avoid issues like freedom. To me~ That is so very sad. I wonder when there will be another Holocaust! Why not~ I think it is entirely possible.churches are now closed. Totalitarian and Communists have no space for churches. They want to be God. Obedience, they demand. Frightening. 38,000 poets here, Only you and Tom give a hoot? So you see, we are mute mice~ ready to lose freedoms. It's disgusting. If we can't stand up for it, we deserve enslavement.. PR

I always say, paddle your own canoe in life, don't rely on others, they may be heading for the rapids. Tom
