Un-legislated mind uncensored terrain freedom roaming within total interdependence never imprisoned images day dreaming clarity floating uninhibited eagle wings brushes painting an open canvas. Spirit of the founding fathers case histories of constitutional America seeking paths of explorations horizon of possibilities scenes of changing beauty poetry of free expression laws of pure necessity self policing universe. Unites States of Earth Neighbors looking in window cracks of curiosity notepad in hand recording offensive behavior telescopes with microscopes protecting societies standards microphones of immense magnitudes computers captured by imposed filters analyzing ever keystroke . Nude cherub fountain diapered for decency art of expressive nature outside walls facing inwards no objects to reflect laser cameras hidden mirrors of fear yards classified as public domains one way bedroom skylights stopping spying satellites from recording obscene reproduction. Furniture police writing citations animal wardens leashing all animals human resources dictating home environments preachers cloning America’s standards legislators of mandatory compliance media under complete control two political parties same voice dissidents fleeing into space. United States of Artists ten light years away never seeing the body as sinful God’s gift of uniqueness skinny dipping waterfall of understood decency dancing high self motivation individuality never fearing confinement public discussions of debate respected in seeing both sides. Music of the heart beating proud feel good attitude of harmony serenity blossoming verse peaceful fragrance of nature’s garden of immense delight seeking sensual pleasure jewel of self indulgence artistic land of creativity liberal art masterpieces. Simple fact is you cannot legislate true artists from using their minds very independently for once lost there is no culture. Thought: Sometimes I feel we need to have legislators work against each other and legislate themselves into extinction. Thought: America is not all about laws, sometimes it is about the lack of them, allowing us to explore our own individual freedoms. Thought: If a politician had to confess every lie they might be forced to repent with every other word. Thought: How free can a country be when there is a law controlling everything and by stepping outside you will create an infraction. Thought: If by having an independent artistic style of expression, my job will be threatened, then what country are we in that artists must be molded into conformity.
