Freedom rings
But don't burn the rag
Land of the free
Love thy neighbors, brothers and sons
Unless they are Muslim
The land of hypocrisy
Eyes always watching you
Making sure we all follow the rules
Lines drawn without symmetry
Get rid of your medicine plant too
It is prohibited to use
Then perhaps you won't be beat and bruised
By a gang with badges in blue
These rationalizations are for the insane
Twisted perceptions force logic into the illogical
It is such a shame
Intelligence as microscopic as a follicle
Coaxed into submission
Belief that peace is created by war
Power for the wealthy the rest omission
An oath to uphold human rights swore
Blind eyes beg for a Shepard
Purposely suppressed and poor
Bright stars shine to lead
No warning could steer the heard
Lead to slaughter by false prophecies
Open eyes taste the curd
Yet the flock remains deceived

Wow!

Great poem. It speaks to the heart of the problem, so many blindly follow the faulty leaders. Giving respect to murderous cowards in costumes. #ACAB

Thank you and yes it’s sad how twisted and corrupt it is.

Lovely poem, sent you an upvote with @dunite :D keep up the good work !

Well said.
Stuff like this should be read out as a public service announcement on the regular.
Wonder if it would work?...

Haha interesting theory though I don’t think it would work as people would tend to write it off as crazy.

Lovely poem, thank you for show us this creativity Por un Engaño - Poesía/ En una carta me despedí
