Did you hear the news? They moved the Liberty Bell. Not in Pennsylvania anymore, Listen to me toll from somewhere underneath you feet. I'm being used now as hell's last-call toy & only hell would love my ding and the shrill of the dong further extending my crack. "So give life to your dreams, for there lies your survival, and cast your heart beyond those faded scenes, and I'll bring you through the storm |

So basically Liberty is in Hell. I understand that. But not totally. We still have liberties just for the time we also have plenty of enemies who in my opinion are just doing all this for selfish gain and undeserved power. And if I'm right then wouldn't that corrupt liberty and justice if they got it? Maybe Liberty is going through Hell better describes it. Nice write. -GIS He has made everything beautiful in its own time. -Ecclesiastes 3:11 |

This made me laugh with certain pictures in my mind...but I'm in rare form this morn, I guess. You still baffle me with how much you say in so few words. There really is a lot here, and much more than just on the surface. Let Freedom ring!! (And if you wonder about my laughter, it's caught up in the craspness of the last few lines...ding, dong, (further extending your) crack....ooooof... Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere |

how the bloody dickens i missed this sardonic little piece! i agree with green on this as i perceive liberty as going through hell right now. almost felt puritanistic... each of your poems seems to end scoffing, which i love! i'll always need a friend, one i can defend. |

HA! awesome concept: Listen to me toll from somewhere underneath you feet. I'm being used now as hell's last-call toy, |
