Freedom's yoke

Fourth of July, old anniversary

Of independence from the British rule

With similar feelings in Zimbabwe

Yes, colonisation it sure ain’t cool

But freedom brings responsibility

The kind that we all face when leaving school

When left to ourselves we can’t always see

What our next move should be, and can be fooled

By short-term gain, paid for expensively

In later years, as long-term debt accrual

Devours that freedom, causes enmity

And hardship, civil war, long-running duel

Between future wealth and immediacy

Yes, freedom often is a tarnished jewel

◄ The NHS at 60

Doctor, my eyes ►

Hi Antonio, they both belong to the tri lateral commision. Both for keeping the federal reserve.They both dont want to uphold the laws of this country.They both support mass illegal migration to this country, because of this they undermine the ablitity of people to get a paying wage for work. They allso create a sub class of modern slaves, that live off the taxes of the rest, and work and live in sub standard conditions. They are createing a class war of un imaginable size. Kennedy tried to get rid of the federal reserve and was killed, the bill still stands unratified.They are both for globalization and the forced blending of three countrys, called NAFTA.
As for war ,more Americans have been killed along and near the border then in the 2 wars going on.There is a large group of illegals that have entered this country, that have an agenda called Aztlan, they are under educated and miss guided and violent.MS-13 the largest gang world wide and very violent, the original ones I believe were revolutionaries from El Salvador, have taken over large areas and are running illegal business and kill many.As long as you can run across the border and squat and push a baby out and become instant citizens, and get free health care and loans for homes and credit cards and free food etc, they will continue to cripple the economy. This free stuff is given almost exclusivly to them, thus creating more enmity and class problems with in society.Mccain will keep wars going, my bet is Obama wont be able to change that, even if elected.Obama will try and bring in socialized medicin, that will become a huge tax burden.WE are already in such debt that not any of them can make it right.With in the next 10 years 50% of the populace will retire and become pensioners. With no money to pay them, because of all the money going to pay foreign debt and keep the illegals in all their free stuff. Illegals dont pay taxes on wages. They send almost all their money back to Mexico. Next to oil in mexico the 2nd most money making business is american money mailed in.There are serious problems with either man in office.Neither man are true christians. Its easy to talk and make promises while running for office, its another to keep your word.The dollar will continue to fall, no matter who wins. ah I have gone on to long, sorry Antonio. But I think you can see a picture, its so broken, America the broken and its not going to be an easy fix.

HI Antonio, nice poem. The 4th this year was very quiet, not like all the years before. I live near fireing ranges and hear more and more people at practice. The media would like to keep it under wraps, they and the government would like for all of us to be complacent and stupid. The word is out and the streets are alive, its a matter of time, before the liers time will be up. The election will not matter, both front runners are one and the same, belong to the same clubs, many are fooled, but for how long? I hear a revolution in the future. thanks

Hi Antonioni, good analogy in this poem, relating to the state of country and freedom for all across the board of life.
Very philosophical too.
Love Janet.xx

Freedom's Yoke is a very apt title and rhymes beautifully with Mugabi's a joke, and not a very funny one at that.

A nicely crafted poem.
