Still Stones of Silence




Indeed, we have given up.
Freemen, once, .now happy slaves?
No longer able to drink from a 
Church cup.
We are the most willing knaves.
Tragically, to those who unlawfully 
locked us up.

Stockholm Syndrome has us by 
strongly, by the throat.
We are grateful to our masters for 
our lifelong sentence.
Never realizing we must be the butt 
of jokes.
Contended, as our end draws near.
Taken prisoner by a phenomenal,
life-demeaning, worldwide power-!hoax!

Government needs only two weapons: the power to license and tax. That is how they got people to wear masks. Stores put signs on windows that, in order to enter one had to wear a mask -- fearing the loss of their business license. All good laws or policies are as good as the people wielding them -- by themselves, they are worthless.

Good-Day Prince De Mino! I love to make up nics for folks. Hope you do not mind. Masks for all of course and a money and power grabber. In insane CA you can only eat outdoors? What is this......Rikers Island? Laws are ridiculous....go to LA, nutcase city. No trick or treating, no parties for kids on Halloween. Kids don't pass the virus. But..join the Insane Train, Canada suggested couples wear masks during sex??....'Bout fell on the floor. Will their be boudoir police? Or cameras in bedrooms? Maybe our cats and dogs need masks? I see no point in going out at all. Anything to suffocate freedom. And dorks follow any law! Thanks, Panagiota xx

We should all be worried and wake up to what is really happening around us. Tom

Nobody gives a whit, Tom. The world is happily being choked to death. Faith? Freedom? Who cares? It's a totally oppressed world and you can tell, can't you? I can!! Freedom of expression is dead, unless we tickle someone's tummy. Ah, then, we are liked. BTW, I have been on the planet too long. I want off! See Word Hobo's comment. It's a sad day in the USA,9/11! I don't think Americans care anymore. Pasted to their egos and technology. Emoji-Land ...thank you... Panagiota xx
