Best Freedoms Poems

Bodies raining down
A nations heart ripped open
Savage flames assail
Tomorrows, lost in ashes
The blade of hate has spoken



The stain of 9/11 will be forever in our hearts.  It was the day a vicious wound was inflicted on our nation.  We staggered, but did not...

how thankful
i am
for the blessings
in my life

the many freedoms
i often take
for granted

mostly
the freedom
to direct my life
as i choose

it bearing no price tag
and in the long run
realizing limitations
are self-imposed

They would have all of our thoughts
align in eclipse of the truth
blot from our eyes cold tears
not shed at reasons death

No more the fiendish touch
of tempting speech
to challenge questions asked
and why

Nor does the hand of wonder
dare reach to touch
for fear it might enrage
the gods they...

Elderly man’s fishing net hangs in his shed
The fish he caught in his backyard stream multiply
Net use was banned; he couldn’t afford a pole
Joy and sustenance gone, a tear falls from his eye

House Bill 875 would ban backyard farms
Forcing vegetable growers to invest cash
In overpriced...

Something that chains link
Turning tricks in my mind 
pain and hurt crushing 
draws out one vision starlight
searching for freedom aches bend down

I carry happiness warmly knowing the truth
joy enters knowing in the end justice 
you will speak with thundering roars
to Heaven cursed by a damned...

If you value your freedoms?
If you value the right to vote?
If you value your freedom of speech?
If you value your freedom of the press?
If you value your freedom of religion?
If you value your freedoms and your
liberties?

Then you won't vote for socialism!
And you won't vote for...

Kim Jong-un is a vile
North Korean leader,
who hides behind a smile.

He places himself first
inciting war and hate,
of all men, he's the worst.

Cheering his cocky strut
you have the same rights,
as any other mutt.
 
You have the right to die
when and how he chooses,
for freedom's just a...

Do you see yourself as more Republican
or leaning more Democrat?

Oh my,
I'm a card-carrying Republican.
Came from a long patriarchal line
of red-blooded Republicans.

What makes you a Republican?
What is Republicanism, do you think?

Well...being against the Democrats, mostly.

OK. 
I get that.
But, what are Republicans for
that Democrats are at least...

Our internet freedoms
Say quotes?
Say Facebook pokes?
Say avatar Say hashtag,
My computer handbag?
Or smishing, dishing or instant phishing?

Our musical freedoms
Say princess of pop?
Say queen of hip hop?
The king of orgasmic rock
Who got writer’s block?
Or the Fab four, the king, say how to sing?

Our gourmet freedoms
Say double whopper...

Or flag has turned upside down
In distress our nation's found
A one world order at liberties loss
Forgotten the soldiers that paid our freedoms cost
Burning parchments from the past
That held the wisdom of our founding fathers path
In God we trust has been forgot
Something must change
This has to...

Bells from church to cathedral rang out the chorus of screams 
in every street echoed the cheering death of millions
as confetti rainbows came falling ticker-tape parade 
from a sky of joy ashed smoke rained down in tears

Champagne corks burst a parties barrage of bombs
and wine...

You may have noticed the Michigan Catholic farmer
claiming his First Amendment rights have been infringed
to speak his mind
about the degenerative nature of same-sex marriage
when the nearby East Lansing operated Farmer's Market
determined his farming operation
was not in compliance with a city ordinance
not allowing discriminatory business practices.

Where Did My Freedoms Go?

By Linda Hays-Gibbs

Where did my freedom go?
It was here not long ago.
I was sure for all those that fought and died,
Someone had surely lied.
I cannot say what I truly feel?
I cannot tell you that you are a heel?
I cannot shout out...
