On Human Rights Today

For centuries, minorities have fought to gain their human rights. How can it be that even now so many folks do not feel safe in “civilized” society? And one can’t fathom the atrocities this very minute somewhere going on affecting innocents in towns and cities! Great wickedness from day to dusk to dawn! Laws were established to ensure that we would have our freedoms each and every day. I look around me. More and more I see injustice taking human rights away! I’m most appalled by censorship and lies controlling us to feed elitists’ greed as my so-called “free” government denies the rights our constitution guaranteed! The flagrant disregard of human rights that’s happening today is sickening. It’s history repeating . . . and the lights are going out! End times are quickening. Wake up and see what’s coming! If you don’t, too soon it will be too late for us all. Come stand and fight with me, for if you won’t, we’ll be as slaves, and great shall be our fall. Dec. 8, 2021 for the 'Human Rights' Poetry Contest of Robert James Liguori

You have expressed with great power and poetic grace the unease that affects so many of us in these troubling times. In my opinion you strike a great balance between outrage and a well-crafted message. I hope your message gets maximum exposure, dear friend. Congrats and Happy New Year ~ John

Powerful write Andrea. I wasn't on much for the past month except for updating the contest, I missed so much. Your poem is stirring. Sadly, many don't know what to do, except what we ever learned growing up, to vote and believe in the constitution as our backbone (for the U.S. anyway), but that feels like it is crumbling. It does seem like the end times are quickening to what the Bible said will be at the end. Maybe everything falling apart is actually falling into place for the King to return.

thanks, and yes, if things continue in the crazy way they are heading, for sure, we are approaching the end days.

Well said! Andrea. How distorted have been the concepts of ‘freedom’ and ‘rights’ to become: the right to take, to enforce and to possess with no creativity nor exchange. Many blessings to you for Christmas and the coming year.

I guess not everyone sees it that way. But que sera, sera. Blessings to you too, Geoffrey.

This pandemic has been a revelation as to how little control we have over governments and our lives. They use fear and threats to achieve their own power addicted ends. Our freedoms and rights are trampled on to further a globalist Marxist agenda.

Andrea Dietrich
Date: 12/15/2021 8:52:00 PM

also we DO have the control, but not enough of us are standing up to turn the table on the powers that be. I pray all the time for the world to just say NO to it all.

People all over the globe are protesting freedom of choice as you can see in this video that was censored from TV news. https://www.facebook.com/581881721/videos/430811278619230/
