"Freedom" day

"Freedom" day

A Poem by The Poet of Black Wings

Happy fourth.
The day we celebrate our
"Freedom".
The day we celebrate our independence,
Our brake, from tyranny.

Once, that was true.
We became a free nation.
No kings to lord over us,
From a far.
Unfortunately, we must have forgot
What cruel rule felt like,
And let it happen all over again.

Freedom of speech,
Of the press,
Of expression itself...
Highly constricted.
Privacy,
Is a lie.
Our guardians are now…
Wardens and executioners.…

Happy fourth,
In our home.
The land of the
"Free".
