White Eagles Poems of Civil Liberties Post your poems here in the poetic fresh air that will take laws that take our rights away into the spotlight. I want to say I am sorry for being un-couteous. I have become a recluse to my own mind. Negativity has taken away my dreams of every saying the right thing into people's heart. Saying that I am getting so concerned about how we are legislating ourselves into where the civil rights of everyone are a thing of the past. Respect your freedoms post here your thought of free speech. Thought: In subsidized big business how can small ones survive. In government controlling the laws in everything, can anyone truly be free. Your only defense is you must vote your conscience into an independent way. |

T Town Lets Party In The American Way Come to T Town And lets Party From the naked furniture Of the mosquito nation For clothed furniture Is a mosquito hazard They are so big They require an education For the infestation Of civil liberties Has everyone Running for cover Unless you have A steel furniture’s Sense of determination It may be the only town Where sitting outside With a padded bottom May be illegal Having a yard sale Selling household goods Require you to never Leave it unattended So you must hire A security guard In order to go To go to the bathroom Worse yet The curfew To sell it Has less time Than a minor At night Please use camouflage By putting a sheet Around your porch Maybe with a Flag of independence For the furniture police Are roaming The neighborhoods You better hope They never look inside Hopefully They will get blinded By Venetian louvers For Alabama lovers The laws still dictate What you can do In your private bedroom In the federal law Mandating furniture tags Leave on your price tag Like the country star From the past Whose bonnet Always had one Vote in your faith That this great country Has a better thing to do Than legislate furniture Taxing our civil liberties For it is a price Too high to pay In a new business Someone might sell Inflatable items No not those dolls They are illegal here But things filled With hot air That you can sit on Enjoying the night sky Maybe I will sell Air mattresses With warning labels Saying they may be Harmful To reproducing mosquitoes For here pest control Controls student’s morals Until the age of legal consent What ever that might be In a save bet Sorry, betting here is illegal To be save Better, for here everyone Is trying to save someone From the evils of society In a cloud of morality Yes T Town lets Party Letting Democrats and Republicans Know how independent we are In protecting our homes From the invasion Seek a retraining order To protect our rights From the education Of conforming attitudes There are those that will say It is for our own good But a lot sooner than later You will be a criminal By just stepping outside Your own home For the university here Wants to ban Partying We will show them What Partying is all about By reclaiming our furniture Boston you had Your famous tea Party We have our furniture Party Abolishing the furniture police Mandated by a city council In a controlled trashing By frustrated voters From a spirit floating within The red, white and blue Of rainbow hues Where people’s eyes Shining into the stars By simply putting words On patriotic paper Demonstrate the need To be treated and understood As educated adults Fighting with our country’s freedoms Living in the peace To be understood as equals May God bless These students here For they are some of America’s best Thought: In the sense of trying to explain individual rights, why must I do a satire so funny that it hurts! Thought: In words I will become the axis of evil but in your heart of understanding maybe I will become just a simple American. Thought: Hate me, get mad, do something, demonstrate or vote your feelings in a non-destructible fashion. Thought: If we are not vigilant, forty years from now Americans may have to immigrate to Russia in order to have more freedom.

What Is Next T Town Note: Kennebunk made a Bartley's Dockside tape up umbrellas for Hebrew National Beef Franks. The official, Paul A. Demers, who is the town's code enforcement officer, said the words "Hebrew National" were "personally offensive" to him, and "they have to go." Hold on T Town We got competition A city in Maine Called Kennebunk Is taking on the limelight They have banned The Hebrew Nation Considering it to be offensive To have it on a outside umbrella And frankly I am jealous So at your next meeting You must ban them here Especially if someone Deems them offensive Like cigarettes liquors Or foreign names Be can be the first to Ban the Confederate nation Then we can go into Our schools dictionary We will have enough For years of work Yes after we are done Everyone here Will be able to wear Nothing in pride And the labels in our stores Will come generic We will show them Who is better For we have professors here Who teach empty classrooms On civil liberties How better to control society Than teach them nothing Frankly I like a Hebrew Nation On a T Town porch I am hungry for my freedom Their history lies In an American tradition Of pleasing their customers While city officials Seem to take citizens rights Into their opinions Thought: In my satirical outlook someday I hope to breathe fresh air. Thought: If only the media had the tears of our forefathers and their dream of independence.

Furniture Police In T Town we have a new force The furniture police They go looking into private porches Looking for indecent furniture But here it must be naked For if it is covered You may get ticketed They enter your back yard And may see your rocker You better be sure It has an outside label on it You may want to try To camouflage it As flower pot For they are still legal Providing it does not have Any funny weeds in it In garages Never leave them open For internal inspection Because a picture May prove your guilt Putting the burden of innocence On you saying your neighbor did it They say you can have a yard sale Selling your household goods But you must put a guard on it Less someone dares remove something For it is a controlled substance But remember her also Furniture here has a curfew And has to be in before dark Maybe it would be wise To now buy inflatable furniture That way you can hide it In a small box Or bust in case of a raid But remember here You can show your navel But never what you sit on I do not know What will happen game day As all those recreational vehicles Come into town for tailgate parties For parting is about to be banned Use wood or plastic furniture Made from disposable material For they be used for bond fires After police confiscation But please no additional padding For in this college town We have an infestation Of life-size mosquitoes Who infected our sofas On private porches By the way remember here Wearing the colors of Auburn Will make them a rodent here So in need of pest control We strive here for an education To rid ourselves Of mosquitoes going outside For learning here now Must be done with grass Green grass The one you mow With blades This is troubling For as I try to explain things It fails to make the grade For the more mosquitoes Your import into this city The more you have to hide And being a citizen here Does not offer you no relief By the way Do not ask what They do to people Who take those tags of furniture For they are exiled in such humiliation Branded for life As tag abuser The regular police here Will probably rebel in pride Leaving a health department With meter maids Walking the streets of T Town For those evil culprits Who defy city law These ads has brought to you By your Alabama education department Whose dictates a strict compliance Of city and state regulations In order to improve relations By eliminating the need For civil disobedience And the use of free speech Thought: It is bad when you have to camouflage your own property from governmental control. Maybe all the students need to camouflage themselves on their private porches. They may even use the American flags to display pride but make sure you leave a light on it. Question: Since you can no longer use your porches here freely does that take them of the tax rolls? This is a funny satirical work that spoofs fun at legislative politicians. Without them we may not need weapons for mass destruction of social values in laws controlling what we can and can not do.
