Shall I Ever Be Free

" Shall I Ever Be Free" Alas, my child you shan't! Get used to a world of can't! Our brains are fully scrubbed Like kids in a foaming bath. Rub-y-dee, rub-y-dee dub. We've been 'brain-spanked' to not ask any questions. We don't dare question numbers! Oh, no shush no! Just be sure to have a brain that totally slumbers. The longer we hide, the bigger the number that will die! And the world left to benevolent, quite evil, power mad dictators! Whilst you are so grateful, being lonely, eating humble pie and 'taters! Each day Big Brother on TV you do watch! Hoping like prisoners to be let out? No, you won't be, unless you are in a state run by sanity. Very few that are willing to support your humanity! The flu has been with is for over one hundred years. We all survived, drank beer and shouted, " Cheers!" We now have become as trembling mice. Follow orders and never think, thrice. *Many poets here are aware of the spurious goings on and political highwaymen stealing your liberties. To those civivilially disobedient ~I lift a glass! Thank you for your sunshine not buying into the shadows of fear and tyranny. Bless you all!" May 1, 2020 1:30pm PST

Right on! Not in Arizona--we have had enough. Today the wife and I took a drive and businesses are opening despite the Stay At Home order--lots of "Open" signs on windows. They are telling the governor to sit-on-it. Now it's about getting the responsible states to bail out the underwater pension funds of liberal states. That's where the next 2 trillion will go. I could be wrong I hope, but "Hell"--they have made me very cynical. Watch! Nothing would surprise me anymore.

Hi Fellow Freedom Lover! Californians defied Newsom's orders and hit the beaches! Protests where I live and the Capitol in Sacramento was mobbed. Woo-Hoo ))Stores opening slowly in defiance. Churches have to stand their ground and open. It's one nation under God, remember? Not one nation under the triumvirate of Newsom, Cuomo and Priztker! Perish that thought! I love AZ! No we are not bailing out states...Pelosi will try. Let her eat ice cream! LOL Panagiota no being cynical, Joe. Work with freedom lovers.

Well said Panagiota, half of what we're told is fake news, all these tables and figures they throw at us are all tosh, anyone can dilute the truth. Yet they muzzle us with threats and make you out to be the bad guy if you complain. Tom

Hello, dear Tom! The numbers game is so skewed, it is a sin. They assume we are gullible idiots. And some of us, act like fish in a bowl and swallow it down as truth. When its nothing but lies. Righto! Your fellow citizens are more than happy to report you not wearing a mask. Like little Nazis, they afford you no freedom. Many lawsuits in progress in CA againg "Count Draconian" aka Newsom. He said he has no idea when he, the new god of CA, will allow churches to re-open! Gee~ wonder where he will have his eternal home? Certainly not on the beaches of Heaven! Panagiota xx
