Bouncing pebbles off a granite wall:

That's what it's like,

Trying so hard,

To get some to listen,

Honing stubborn,

To a fine art form,

Or is it,

That they've accepted their fate?,

Content,

Allowing governments to mold their future,

Or is it demise?,

Telling them when and where to pray,

Or not to,

After all,

The schools are owned by government,

Not the people,

Actually,

The government owns us,

Just beasts of burden,

Taxed into oblivion,

While this monster,

Called government,

Grows ever larger,

More programs,

To keep the poor where they are,

And the rich where they stay,

As meekly,

So many in the middle,

Watch their rights wither,

And slowly dissolve away.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Robert, this is so very sad, my heart goes out to all the poor and I pray that soon someone can listen and we can reach out to all! (sad sigh) So sad but true, sweet brother, I pray love and hope can come to them all who need it the most! (tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet brother, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This is extremely sad, Sir Robert, but so true. We watch it happening around us all the time and pretend we do not see it. I wonder when we will realise how precious the freedoms we have really are or if we will continue to let them slip through our fingers one by one. Very well said. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
