Philosophy of Free

Voices facing headwinds feel the calming seas Elephants grasping backdraft tails are letting go and hearing the rumble of discontent. The runaway (with your $$$) train called washing- ton with earplugs jammed so tight hairpieces jiggle with every falsehood. People are waking up! People are waking up! Were you asked if money is better spent (1/2 trillion$ stolen from your future) arming blurred sides in Syria that we intend to bomb? then decry their use against us? We the people are no longer in control and live in fear. Do you worry I cannot speak freely in this land of liberty? WHY? My ancestors died in battle so I can write this diatribe! You, all of you artists, they fear us most... and silence us if our words pull the sheep away from 'dancing with the stars' I am not a slave...I am not a slave Rejoice in liberty!

Every day our rights decay while the gov't controlled media tells us all is well. We are right! But are we? Politicians controlled by special interest, turn their heads with their palms open behind their back. Don't get me started. I love the way you speak the truth! Peace my friend:)
