The Joke Is On You

Hickory, Dickory, Dock.
A giant Fear, this planet 
has been rocked!
Alas, do not  shake,
Just get loaded and do 
not awake?
Each second our freedom 
passes.
We (not me) will give this 
world only laughter and word 
gasses?

Like clowns is a a circus,
Truth flung to the air like
a discus.
We keep you happy,
from our Olympian pens.
You will never know your
Country has been stolen
from you, then!!

I mean each country does
not understand.
Your freedom has already
been taken!
And we who have the power
of words to undo this?
Sorry, we leave you forsaken.

We speaketh only of darling
bunnies and irises!
Or of gardening or raking.
Unaware our leaders have
sold out to China!
The Formidable Wuhan
taking!

Well, you had better tell that to a world that forgot! They forgot Hitler. He planted fear in peoples hearts, then took away their rights...and then their lives. In process, right now.a master of lies, was he. Pangie

People have got soft and playing along with what they're told to do. Modern living and comforts have made them very weak, Years ago people had very little and fought hard for what they had. Tom

Tom, people here are staying home. They get more money that way Hard work? Not anymore. They will not do it. They want obedient Wuhan monsters. Loons are running America into the grave. I wish it was years ago. No more. Merci, Pangie

Let's face it, Pangie; if enough people were capable of understanding what you are saying, this never would have happened to begin with. You can speak, but people will only hear what they want to hear -- they will only begin to listen when they are really uncomfortable or suffering...then they will be told to blame the messenger as opposed to the real culprit. Keep speaking your truth -- hang in there. Blessings.

Prince de Mino. Hitler is a great example of a master fearmonger. Once he got the Germans to believe only he could save them, the first camp was built for dissidents...book burnings. Here we censor books, change pictures on products, toys are forbidden by cancel culture. Nobody resisted. The Jews, Greeks and Polish were done away with. Mussolini and Stalin killed millions. First they take away all your freedoms. Then do with your body as they please. It’s already taking place all over the world. Cheers toEurope for protesting the vaccine. Like the Germans trustedHitler Countries cave to the vaccine. It is not really a vaccine at all. It’s untested. Nurses here are quitting They know better, they will not endanger their hearts nor immune systems. This is not the flu vaccine. Valid info is being hidden from us. Do we have a death wish? The internet lies like a snake. Peace to The House of De Mino.)))
