Bitterness and anger, truth or lie? Pretence of reality continues to die. When peace is used as disguise to ruin hard work and sever family ties. There is nowhere to turn, there is no one to trust, everything I worked for turns to dust. What if they find me? Do I go oversea? I can't hide forever, I need to be free. Someone please help me, I don't know where to go! Is anyone out there? I have to know! They say I am a Communist, they call me a liar. They say name names or condemn myself to America's ire. How can they tell me to betray my friends? Why do they use my suffering for achieving their own ends? It is their greedy lies I have to appease, I need someone to save me, somebody PLEASE!! I am not Un-American, I am NOT a Red. And it HAS been for this country, that I have bled. Blackwidowgurl |

Pieces that serve up social commentary are most welcome even if the McCarthy Trials weren`t. Nice work here. |
