Array ( [sid] => 126485 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => What is this America? [time] => 2006-10-03 06:50:39 [hometext] => please read and comment and critique on my work [bodytext] => What is this America?
we see things that we do not like yet we stand back in silence ans our nation crumbels like a cracker in the hands of a giant. yes we sit back in silence.
What is this America?
how can we stand strong when we are standing in the blood of the innocent lost and of lost innocent. the blood shed in the name of a war on terror which is a war against peace and humanity. why do we refuse to rebel abainst death and and mental slavery.
What is this America?
babies are dying while injustice is living on and thriving. were fighting a war we have no buisness taking part of. put down your weapons and walk away me boys walk away.
walk away me boys and tommorow we shall be free
put down your gun before freedom is lost for everyone.
What is this America

What's alarming is your government is edging conscription into your constitution through the back door through a serious of bills that get drafted on big news days so no one notices. Being a soldier isn't as appealing when you may come home in a bodybag I guess. My dear old blighty is no better really, as freedom ebbs away tears will fall...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
