Stand Up For Liberty

Hour after hour
Our freedoms washed away
The seconds tick on by
With no relief in sight
We have to stop that power
That he has taken away
He’s evil and he’s sly
We can’t give up our rights
The effects are already felt
This world is coming apart
The torture and the hatred
Must come to an abrupt end
To continue on this path
Will surely break some hearts
Alternative facts created
And the lies will not end
Our hunger and our freedom
We have to fight for now
We will not be proven wrong
We must hold onto our beliefs
All those lies we see them
But how can it go on
This land is a ticking time bomb
With savages in the street
The days of reckoning are coming
We will win and stand tall
This evil that’s upon us
Will come to a deadly end
The right is all consuming
Thinking their on the ball
We will no longer be shushed
We will reign again

@inertia4 Our country has too many problems. One of the worst, is that we are hell bent on helping every other country in the world when we have so many people here homeless and hungry.

@Shellyann36 That part I agree with. But we cannot turn our backs on immigrants who want to come here. Remember, america was built by immigrants.

@Jessicalynnt I didn't know. I guess I was pre-occupied all that time. I did have a hard year last year. I will keep checking your profile for new ones.

@teresatrotter Cool, Thanks. I am still going to go through all your posts. I need time. I know it will take some time. I can go through a few at a time.

Many of us feel this way, myself included. We are the people and we still have a voice. I hope something will be done when we speak up.

It couldn't hurt to try. I wouldn't want the job though!
