What goes around

What goes around

A Poem by Donald Meikle

Bring me back to I don't care
Back to I'll just comb my hair
Straighten up my ruffled shirt
And never never show I hurt
Freedom isn't free. I paid
And still I owe and earn
This welfare state is not for me
When will the people learn?
It's november fourth today
And I took the time to vote
It's just a goodbye way to say
To all I learned by rote
Freedom isn't free for me
Though more will disagree
I put my time in guarding thee
Goodbye that's all she wrote

It's always great to read your work your Donald. You are such a great story teller and even when you are writing with a bit sarcasm your bite is pleasant and well crafted. What you say here is so true too, and goodbye is all she wrote when it comes right to it. :)

It would be nice to find a way to escape truly the hurts of our life. Freedom has not come free and it is sad that so few take the time to realize that fact. I am sorry that I do not get to drop in as often as I would like. I hope that things are well with you and yours.

Blessings,
Lesa
