You may not agree with me Or the things I have to say But the last time I looked speech was still free So they are determined to take that away..... We all have the right to disagree Black, Muslim, Asian or White Colour makes no difference to me But we must unite not fight Why can't the people see Just what the new normal will be? As the government gets us to each the other Blame, attack and accuse Turning Sister against Brother Burning books & flags and drowning statues. . Stay indoors as ordered, observe the mandatory curfews Do not hug one another or you'll soon discover How much of your human rights you have left to lose "Ignorance is the Enemy...." |

John...You speak of reality and I agree with you. People protest and burn things, but they are hurting the very people that walk beside them when it counts...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Well written and a truthful write...I want to say what I feel but am sure it would not be right by some and therefore silence reigns...thank you for your courage |

There is so much beneath the surface of what is happening in this country...and the world right now. None of it kosher. I just can't help but wonder how far up the societal structure we'd have to climb to find out where the puppet-line ends and just who is pulling the strings. Michael |
