The Firsts Defence

Murder in the first degree, no ammendment' a tone 
Never to attune; to.' the  U S A to be deaf and dumb?
Were its constitution srruck, a mortal wound; 
Would be done! A world of opportunity; undone, the
Vital seed of true debate, free expression the chance 
To counter hate.' I appreciate as many do, a healthy 
America is better.' Reality's heart, beating beneath 
The red white and blue!

Spot on, Joe. As American falls politically, morally, so falls the free world. Free speech means, just that, free speech -- say what your heart tells you. Blessings my friend. You have my full support. Not that that is a whole lot.

Thanks Joe, Its a conundrum in one way,,? Yet not if it its european powers running things? I mean medevil europe was strong on control some countries even locking up the Bible, and the early roman catholics did that.' Also the Bible is poetry I E the One Word causing creation.'

I agree with Tom! Best we look into our own country’s laws,. You can create animosity here. Joe. I don’t attack Australia. And another thing. You are a poet not a lawyer, neither am I! But I credit you for dealing in reality.. If you were charged here with murder in the first, there is an appeal process.let’s say I was convicted,and I never did it. No reason for me to die. Juries make errors. Or evidence can be wrong. Again, thanks for being real. PS there is North America and South America.
