FREEDOM

Freedom is very costly. How many have died for freedom? We allow freedom to die without a fight. The men and woman who died for us to be free are rolling in their graves.

                           Freedom

Sweet freedom.
To be able to decide life.
To have opportunity for success or failure.
To speak our mind without fear.

I stood with a division of Soldiers.
15,000 Soldiers willing to fight and died for freedom.
We thought for we stood for free men and woman in the USA.

Here in the USA.
Freedom is being stole.
Basic rules of the constitution being torn apart by leaders with self goals.





 

Freedom of speech.
Is the basic of the USA way.

Freedom to demonstrate.
Is the USA way.

Separation of religion/business and government is necessary.

Today the media is controlled.
Today internet is watched and controlled.
Today you can be arrested for demonstrating for basic rights.

Soon we will forget sweet freedom.

I lost brothers in arms to war.
I pray their death wasn't meaningless.
Today free people need to stand for freedom.
Or freedom will become a myth and we left nothing for our children.

Real Americans should be pissed off.

Our leadership made demonstrating a felony.
What is next?. Tax prisons.  Too late. Already done by our dead-beat leaders.

Thank you for reading.
Every American should write their leaders. Tell them.
This is the USA.
We want our freedom back. This isn't Russia.

Author's Note

Freedom isn't free. Many had die for us to be free.

The sad thing is that the sacrifices made for the sake of Freedom are overlooked in many parts of the world. Freedom is often mistaken for Decadence, governments fear what their citizens are capable of beyond their control. A mistake repeated since time immemorial.
Reading your poem reminds me how precious my life is, even if it's not free. It will be, eventually.

[Kwiksie Ifediora]

a very thought provoking piece that seems to spring right from the heart.
Pray the leadership take notice of these highlights of their errs.
Good write.
Thanks for sharing

This is so powerful, such a provocative piece, there is far too much sadness in the truth.

[Tina Kline]

A very powerful poem. I think what you say is so true. Why are American's not standing up and fighting for their rights as they slip away so fast? I hope its not to late for These United States of America. It almost seems so and all those Americans who fought for this country before us are probably deeply ashamed of what is going on today. Coyote Poetry, this is a splendid poem speaking only the truth. impressive work.

[Stella Armour]

The same for goes for my country England , so many gave their lives in the field of battle for the future generations to have freedom...and yet the power struggle still denies that freedom to so many....

[Sheila Kline]

And once again you speak words that I wholehearted agree with!! Keep speaking out my friend!! I am too, and many, many more should do the same!! We have a voice as writers and we must use it!!!
Excellent write that rings for tangible ways for us to speak out for freedom!!!

[Coyote Poetry]

Yes Sheila. We can't give up.
