THE PEPPERMAN IN THE GALLERY OF PUBLIC OPINION
...VES "
As I listened to both sides of this
Argument , I began to understand
this dire situation.
Freedoms and Rights
were being taken away.
A few thousand ,
we're demanding the millions

People fled in search of a land
they could call Home.
In search of a Land
outside the system.
A land where they could practice
Free Speach.
A land where they could think Freely.
