Anil Deo Poet Free verse

Rights On Paper Second Generation

What a difference a few years away make
For granted, rights to privacy, personal space,
Right to lay charges of assault, I did take
Them as given in US if America

I'm no longer shocked at fence, tree removed
To steal tin, "zinc" fir shanty roofing
My yard is to be piached fir vegetables, too
We in south Africa, don't bother The Police

Michelle Faulkner July 8, 2022 at 9:12 AM I don't know the situation in South Africa but it seems our freedoms are being dismantled one by one, I just hope enough brave people step up to protect them~ Anil Deo July 8, 2022 at 10:40 AM Yes dear Mrs. Michelle Faulkner, we hope ( I try prayer most days) that true AmERICANiSM will reassert, as with Washington Jefferson, John Adams, & matriarchs like Abigail Adams
