are our own

are our own





taking it in stride 
is taxing
is restrictive
is necessary
am i right
am i truthful
am i indoctrinated
am i a cult follower
how can i see
the answer
the truth
the bones laid bare
all but a game
50/50 
the odds declare
balanced or make believe
i must question myself
i must continue in effort
to see both sides 
of the coin
this predicament
this choice
a condition of
freedom
look and see
the ying and the yang
my choice
50/50
call it as you will
freedom
liberty
democracy
we each and everyone
with spirit and conviction
we are our own

Well I am all for democracy , but on this side of the pond, it seems to be losing its appeal. Well put it this way, the elected government are NOT sticking to the pledges in their manifesto. They are doing the opposite to what they were elected on. Sort of pissed the voters off. I do try to look at both sides of the coin, but however I look at it, whichever party wins the election this year, the future is shite. You’ve got your own problems over there. Take it in my own stride? My husband says where politics is concerned I am a gob on a stick 😂
