time tells the tale
of a thousand free men
somewhere behind the glass
remembering when

swearing next time
they will do it right
liberties and freedoms
the right to fight

right to bear arms
kill or be killed
right to tear down
and then to re-build

taking the fall
and becoming the wall
the battles isn't over
it has just begun

I understand this one perfectly. You found the voice for it perfectly.

Just like a butterfly before eyes
Your poems are rhyming wonderfully
I could sense your feelings poetess
Let further poems like this be born.

They are the wall we build upon. Nice!

My favorite scene was the thousand free men sitting at a bar and shooting the breeze, anyways, that's how I saw it in my head.  Enjoyed!

The world must keep a lot of people awake at night, but poems like this are why we should use the power of the word to cast light on what happens...enjoyed reading..thank you..
