Notes About The Poem

The Creation of a Draconian State

Birthed in the nebulous cloud 
     of free love,
     psychedelic delusions from acid tripping
travel into future generations
     where free love 
     becomes a free-for-all.

Those who voice dissent 
     to the immoral majority
are named bigots, and cutoff 
     from the public square,
arrested and jailed
       for saying a prayer!

wow! just wow! the evolution of the draconian state is well versed. I, too, have made the connection between the free love slowly devolving into free for all. Best wishes with the contest, hugs, Sara

It's just too bad that both sides have extremes!
