I know this has Nothing to dO with fireworks but witH a WEAPONIZED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT that slams citizens in jail for no reason. Also killed an American Marine on January 6 in the Capitol..She was not violent. Local news channels, fake news despie goodness.SO make good people evil and evil people good. You know exactly what I mean. We are not involved with mandates or censorship are being slammed in jail for speaking out.. Criminals get out of jail free., great poem Kim Pangie xx

With eloquent precision, KIM, you crafted a haiku that captures the disturbing reality of shoplifting fireworks. The resulting punishment of red-white-blue prison stripes is a stark contrast to the image of good citizens.

Thank you, Lasaad! In the U.S. people are being allowed to walk out with goods in certain parts of the country…whereas good citizens suffer.
