James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Oppressed, Suppressed

We all know 'America' is classed as the land of the free
But any country can only be so, if it includes you and thee
Just like life is, irrespective of your circumstances, they be
For no one should be oppressed, in stone scribed, decreed

But sadly this doesn't happen, be it in many walks of life
To being badgered in your workplace, or on the way home
Even amidst relationships, when actions become traction
No wonder minds become stressed in endless lost roam

Sadly amidst life and it's walkways, canals, motorways, mm
It'll always surface crawling to it's cringe-worthy extreme
Then there's suppression, be we you, us, she or them, him
For whence anger commits, thence throws, becomes, bedlam!

Sirens!

Sara James Fraser August 16, 2020 at 2:37 PM The World is facing something that it thought it would never face, all though very possible. In society, when society is weakened with job losses, panic, hunger, another force emerges, and that is Anarchy leading to Bedlam, of which I hope never happens. Fingers crossed this storm will be ridden, and a sense of normality resumes, nice to see you here as it's rare for me to be here, take care Sara, you and your lovely family XX
