Freedom Lost By Paul Wilson Half past midnight darkness paints the way from here to there (you know of where I speak) behind locked doors Coldness of shadows touch the inner you (burning) as you stare at the emptiness left by today Hurry before the keeper collects his toll once again fade into the shadows obscure to the world (as most know it) Speak not (our mind) least we become labeled (trouble makers) scorned by most reform and conform freedom of speach (a passing memory) The young must never know of books and papers we are told as March winds suppress our will Half past midnight darkness paints the way from here to there (you know of where I speak) behind locked doors To teach our children of the past and the freedom we once had ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Seymour...You write of true freedom and your words are those of a wise man. Thanks for the read my friend...Paul Chris...Glad you liked this. Thanks for the reply. Just some ramblings this morning...Paul tru...Yes it does seem like we lose a little more freedom to do the things and believe in the things that we want too. I really appreciate your reply...Paul Nancy...I knew you would remember today in your own special way. Thank You for the Birthday wishes. Now i'm the big 60 and my wife is making a special supper for me. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks very much for reading and your reply...Paul interloper...Thank you...Paul Dixie...Good to hear from you.

If the governments of the world continue on their way our freedom will be just a memory of a memory that belongs to another day. |
